Screening for ACEs and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCE) to support positive parenting of our youngest patients
Thomas Patterson, MD & Rodger Sherman, MSAda 1
Screening for ACEs and PCEs among the parents of your pediatric patients can improve both the physical and behavioral health of your patients and their parents. The primary goal of this two-year learning collaborative was to create a patient-centered approach to screening that would lead to improved parenting by those people who are parenting with their own ACEs. We anticipate that this approach will break the generational cycle of Adverse Childhood Experiences by encouraging a regime of universal resilience promotion.
Learning Objectives
- Participants will understand how a patient centered approach can improve reliability of screening and patient outcomes
- Participants will know how a post screening conversation is conducted and what it hopes to achieve
- Participants will have access to resources that can support screening including virtual CME
