Adverse Childhood Experience Issue Briefs (ACE Study)

The Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study is a large-scale, ongoing evaluation of the link between negative childhood experiences to the origins of risk behaviors that evolve into the leading causes of disease and disability in adulthood.  The study is a collaborative effort between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente's Department of Preventive Medicine.

The Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy has researched the impact of this study on Oklahoma.  These five issue briefs create a picture of the scope and impact of adverse experiences that Oklahoma children suffer, and the consequences to our state if we do not enhance our efforts to lessen the trauma and dysfunction in their lives.
