  1. Promoting Early and Lifelong Health: A Roadmap from Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) to the Promise of Resilience and Well-Being(Visit the CAHMI Data Resource Center Exhibit to Participate in Collective Insight process)Christina Bethell, PhD, MBA, MPHLisa Simpson, MB, MPH, FAAPMichele Solloway, PhD, MPAAcademyHealth Annual Research MeetingJune 2015 “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Frederick Douglass (1817–1895)

  2. Agenda for Our Time Engage you in this project and share about its background, motivation scope& outcomes Learn about your goals, perspectives and efforts Identify specific priorities for research and action that the child health services research community should be focused on

  3. We Are the Medicine • When our science, lived experience and policies meet http://www.cahmi.org/projects/adverse-childhood-experiences-aces/

  4. Project Goal(Spring 2014-Spring 2015) This goal of this project is to optimize the role and capacity of children’s health services to promote child and family wellbeing by further catalyzing awareness, knowledge and innovation to prevent, recognize and heal the impacts of adverse childhood experiences. Prevalence of 2+ (of 9) ACES: 16.3% (UT) – 32.9% (OK) Funding for this project has come from The Child and Adolescent Health Measurement Initiative (CAHMI) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, with in-kind contributions from the California Endowment and our many research, family, policy and practice partners.

  7. Project Approach cross-cutting role of safe, stable, nurturing relationships to healthy child brain development and health across life the known impact of embedded and chronic stress on child development and well-being and adult health the syndemic of adverse childhood experiences, links to early & lifelong health and the possibility of healing and prevention that child development depends on adult development and the urgency to promote greater research and policy action that the health of children and our nation calls us to squarely address trauma and promote positive health—and the foundational role of safe, stable, nurturing relationships and neuro-repair to healing Emphasizes Legitimizes Calls Out Recognizes Concludes

As such they manifest themselves in countless everyday life situations.” “Skills for Social Progress: The Power of Social and Emotional Skills” OECD, March 10, 2015

  21. Methods and Status of Research and Action Agenda Collective Insight/CrowdSourcingProcess (June 2014 and again June 2015) National 2-day meeting (AcademyHealth 2014) Living environmental and literature scan Ongoing key informant and small group interviews Ongoing input forums (PAS, AcademyHealth, APHA, NCPHC, AMCHP, etc.)

  22. Join Out Collective Insight Delphi Process Give Us Your E-Mail to Participate in an Online Collective Insight/Delphi Process (sign up sheet; email us at info@cahmi.org or here or go to CAHMI/Data Resource Center Exhibit) Using an online tool (CoDigital), we are collecting and cultivating group insights on research, policy and action priorities to prevent and mitigate the impact of ACEs Key audiences: researchers, fed/state policymakers, pediatric providers, family leaders, private/public sector payers, health systems, community-based health program leaders, researchers

  23. Phase ICollective Insight Questions Question 1:What should the specific goals of our community be related to ACEs and resilience? (e.g. the child health services research and policy community? Question 2: What research and policy domains and questions are highest priority? Questions 3: What are the research questions, policy actions and existing efforts to consider as priorities in an agenda?

  24. Starting Point Child HSR/P Domains Six Fundamental Health Services and Policy Research Domains (embedded in larger community systems required to achieve impact)

  25. Emerging Agenda Components Three interlocking components comprise the emerging research and action agenda: Component #1:  Functions and Types of Research Component #2:  Priority Topics and Focal Areas Component #3:  Short Term Collaborative Actions

  26. Component #1:  Functions and Types of Research Design & Develop: synthesize existing knowledge and design and develop new translational knowledge, methods, and tools Implement & Evaluate: adapt, implement, and evaluate existing and emerging strategies to prevent and buffer impact of ACEs to promote well-being Educate & Communicate: assess existing awareness and contribute to public, provider and stakeholder education and awareness, knowledge and action. Disseminate & Support: develop methods and capacity to scale, spread and support effective prevention, intervention, and training models in the field

  27. Component #2:  Priority Topics and Focal Areas Meanings and Measures: Advance standardization of definitions, measures, Core Science:  Promote research to address gaps in science especially pertinent to policy and practice Primary Care and Public Health: Understand public health impact and opportunities for translation of knowledge into primary care and public health practice Communities: Know what a healthy community is and how to address ACEs through community based collaborations and efforts Economics: Define and measure economic impact of ACEs and return on investment through effectively addressing ACEs

  28. Component #3:  Short Term Collaborative Actions Move the Game Board: Define a conceptual map and model to clarify definitions and foster shifts in mindset and norms to facilitate collective action Continuous Translation and Improvement: Synthesis, dissemination, translation, and ongoing assessment of existing models, methods, and practices Training and Capacity Building: Provider, community, and family education and training Policy Platform and Demonstration: Define recommendations to align health reform and systems design with needs and health improvement opportunities

  29. Questions to Consider Today What should be the goals of the child health services, research and policies communities related to ACEs and resilience and positive health development? What research questions, program and policy actions and current programs should be considered as priorities in an agenda? Why is now a good time for a broader focus on ACES in health policy? What will it take for the health care delivery system, research and policy communities to respond to ACES? What do health policymakers, program leaders, pediatricians and the public need to know about ACES?  What are the most significant barriers to an improved policy response to ACES?  If there is one thing you could change in health policy to make progress on ACES, what would it be?
