ACE overview • Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are negative life events or experiences which occur during childhood and have the potential to impede healthy child development. • Wisconsin includes the ACE module in the state's annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). To assess the occurrence of ACEs among Wisconsin adults, the BRFSS asks if they experienced any of the following events or circumstances prior to the age of 18: • Recurrent physical abuse • Recurrent emotional abuse • Sexual abuse • An alcohol or other drug abuser in the household • An incarcerated family member • A household member who was chronically depressed, mentally ill, institutionalized or suicidal • Violence between adults in the home • Parental separation or divorce • Poverty/neglect (questions added to ACE module in 2014)
