Problems with the recommendation to implement ACEs screening

摘要

Thanks to the Journal for extending the opportunity for discussion about the topic of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) screening and to Dr. Watson for her response to our letter (1,2). It is important to highlight that we are NOT contesting the need for health care providers to be aware of, and knowledgeable about, ACEs. Rather, our concern is specific to the recommendation to implement ACEs screening in clinical practice.
