Integrating ACE-informed care into medical practice: A needs assessment of healthcare providers in the Austin area.
The purpose of this study is three-fold:
- Assess the familiarity and experience of healthcare providers with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) informed care.
- Assess the value and feasibility of implementing ACE-informed care.
- Assess the comfort and confidence of healthcare providers exploring ACEs with patients and their families.
TXICFW, and members of the PTIRCC collaboration are conducting in-person interviews and administering online surveys to health care providers who treat children including pediatric, and freestanding emergency rooms in the Austin and surrounding communities.
