ACE BRFSS Data for Georgia
In 2016, Georgia included the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) module as a part of the Georgia Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (GA-BRFSS). The ACE module was developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that was adapted from the original CDC-Kaiser ACE Study and is used to collect information about adult respondents’ childhood experiences related to abuse, neglect, and household challenges.

The Building Community Resilience Collaborative
The Building Community Resilience (BCR) collaborative at the Redstone Center seeks to improve the health of children, families, and communities by fostering engagement between grassroots community services and public and private systems to develop a protective buffer against Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) occurring in Adverse Community Environments (ACEs) – the “Pair of ACEs." Connecting community organizations (through a church health ministry or trusted food pantry, for example) with larger systems (including those in health care, education, business, law enforcement) can begin to build a durable network to improve community wellbeing.
Harvard University | Center on the Developing Child
The Center on the Developing Child’s diverse activities align around building an R&D (research and development) platform for science-based innovation, and transforming the policy and practice landscape that supports and even demands change. We do this because society pays a huge price when children do not reach their potential, because half a century of policies and programs have not produced breakthrough outcomes, and because dramatic advances in science are ready to be used to achieve a promising future for every child.
