The ACE Questionnaire

The ACE Questionnaire, or Adverse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire, is a tool used to assess the impact of childhood trauma on long-term health and well-being. It consists of a series of questions that address various traumatic experiences, such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. By understanding the number and type of adverse experiences, healthcare providers can better recognize potential health risks and mental health issues in individuals. The ACE scores can help inform treatment, support, and prevention strategies to improve overall health outcomes later in life.
