From “Using Standardized Social Determinants of Health <br />Screening Questions to Identify and Assist Patients with <br />Unmet Health-related Resource Needs in North Carolina”, <br />NCDHHS, April 2018 <br />“The three questions around interpersonal safety are not meant to be a <br />proxy or replacement for a full ACE screening. Performing a full ACE <br />screening allows for the timely recognition and efficient management of <br />the emotional and physical consequences of adverse childhood <br />experiences. Significant research has shown the relationship between <br />ACEs and a variety of known risk factors for disease, disability and early <br />mortality. While the Department recognizes the importance of <br />performing an ACE screen, it is not the focus of this paper.”
