Science is Clear• Toxic stress caused by
ACEs can profoundly alter the otherwise healthy development of a child
• “Children’s exposure to ACEs is the greatest unaddressed public health threat of our time.” Dr. Robert Block, former president, American Academy of Pediatrics
![Page 4: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Adverse Childhood (ACE) Study Experiences
"Probably the most important public health study most people never heard of.”

QuestionWhat do you think is average ACE score children in Arizona?
![Page 11: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Community Also Plays a Role
![Page 12: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ACE Scores
• Think of ACE score as cholesterol score for
childhood trauma
• The more ACEs, the
greater the risk
![Page 13: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ACE Scores
1/3 of Adults have
ACE Score of 0
Majority with ACE score of 0, have few, if any, risk factors for diseases that are common causes of death in US
![Page 14: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• 4 or more may result in multiple risk factors for chronic diseases or disease themselves
• 6 or more may result in a 20 year decrease in life expectancy
![Page 15: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4 or More ACEs
• Associated with significantly increased risk for 7 out of 10 leading adult causes of death:
- heart disease - COPD
- stroke - diabetes
- cancer - suicide
- Alzheimer's
![Page 16: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Statistics from “The High Cost of Adverse Childhood Experiences compiled by Krista Goldstine-Cole, education director, Washington Family Policy Council
![Page 17: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Poverty as an ACE• “Being poor is associated with so many
childhood adversities that it may be considered an ACE in itself, more pervasive and persistent than all others.”
• “Poverty acts as reinforcing mechanism, disproportionately burdening low-income families with stressors that give rise to adverse conditions, which then convey additional stress and cognitive dysfunction.”

ACEs are Like an Oil Spill
![Page 19: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ACEs are Interrelated and PredictiveWithout interruption, ACEs tend to escalate across generations
![Page 20: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Timing is Important
• Adverse experiences 0 to 2 months predicted negative child outcomes
• Relational poverty 0 to 2 months also predicted negative outcomes
• Adverse experiences later in life predicted negative outcomes less strongly
• Perinatal developmental experiences more strongly associated with compromised current functioning than occurring other periods
• Current relational health - overall strongest predictor of outcomes
• Impact of early adversity may increase, not decrease, over timeBeyond the ACE score: Examining relationships between timing of developmental adversity, relational health and developmental outcomes in children, Hambrick, Erin P. et al., Archives of Psychiatric Nursing, Volume 33, Issue 3, 238 - 247

Problem . . . or Solution?• What are conventionally viewed as Public Health
problems, are often personal solutions to long concealed, embarrassing, and shame filled adverse childhood experiences By adolescence, children seek
relief:• Drinking alcohol• Smoking tobacco*• Sexual promiscuity• Using drugs* • Overeating/eating disorders• Delinquent behavior, violence• High-risk sports, etc.
*Note: nicotine and methamphetamines are anti-depressants
![Page 22: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
High Risk Teen Behaviors
• May not be core problem
• They may be coping devices
• A way to feel safe or just feel better
• Dismissing as “bad habits” or “self destructive behavior” misses their functionality

What We Don’t See
We need to ask “What happened first?”

ACEs Don’t Explain Everything
Many Individuals with High ACE Scores Do Nothave Poor Health Outcomes

Getting It Right the First Time
• Creating the right conditions in early childhood is more effective and far less costly than addressing a multitude of problems later on
![Page 35: Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: …...Overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences: Creating Hope for a Healthier Arizona Wildfire 2019 Annual Conference July 19, 2019 Marcia](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042406/5f1f88af71dd1355820ffa4d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

ACEs in Foster Care
• More than half of kids reported for child abuse experienced 4 or more ACEs by time of 1st contact
• More than 90% have multiple ACEs

ACEs and Addiction
Findings suggest:• A major factor, if not the main
factor, underlying addiction is ACEs that have not healed and are concealed from awareness by shame, secrecy, and social taboo.
“It’s hard to get enough of something that almost works.” Vincent Felitti, MD

How ACEs “Get Under the Skin”Toxic Stress
“Extreme, frequent or extended activation of the body’s stress response, without the buffering presence of a supportive adult.”Sara B. Johnson, et al., The science of early life toxic stress for pediatric practice and advocacy, 131 PEDIATRICS 319 (2013), available at http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/131/2/319.full

Toxic Stress Early in Development
• Affects functioning of 3 highly integrated systems:
– the immune system
– the neuroendocrine system
– the central nervous system (Danese & McEwen, 2012)

Children and Stress
• Biologically predisposed to more physiologic stress
• Brain structures that modulate stress mature later
• Young children need safe, stable, and nurturing relationships to assist in regulating their stress
