ACEs Referral From PED

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Adverse Childhood Experiences

In brief

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic exposures that can cause many negative health impacts across life. ACEs are common in patients who seek out care in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs); this is an opportunity to connect families with mental health resources to mitigate the effects of ACEs and improve lifelong health. The goal of this study is to determine if children with high ACEs have better rates of follow-up with mental health resources when a telehealth option is provided, as previous research has shown that simply making an in-person follow-up appointment is not very helpful.
