The Implementation of Screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences in Pediatric Primary Care.
The Journal of Pediatrics(2020)
摘要
Objective To assess the implementation of screening, screening rates, and prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in a large integrated healthcare system. Study design Kaiser Permanente Southern California is a large integrated healthcare system with 15 medical centers/hospitals and 233 medical office buildings that serve approximately 1.5 million children. Screening for ACEs began in July 2018 at 1 medical center (Downey, Bellflower medical office) for 3- and 5-year-old well-child visits (yearly physical examination). It quickly expanded to 3 other medical centers (6 clinics in total) and now also includes the 10- and 13-year-old well-child visits. Results Since July 2018 we have screened 3241 3-year-olds (53% of the target population), 2761 5-year-olds (53%), 545 10-year-olds (37%), and 509 13-year-olds (13%). Of the 3-year-olds who were screened, 15% had an ACEs score of 1 or higher. Of the 5-year-olds that were screened, 17.5% had an ACEs score of 1 or higher. Of the 10-year-olds, 30.5% had an ACEs score of 1 or higher and of the 13-year-olds, 33.8% had an ACEs score of 1 or higher. Conclusions Although we have encountered some challenges, particularly with follow-up for those screening positive for ACEs, screening was feasible. The data show an increasing trend of ACEs in 3- to 13-year-old children, highlighting the need for early education about ACEs to mitigate the effects of toxic stress.
