In 1998, Felitti and colleagues published the first study of the Adverse Childhood Experiences-Questionnaire (ACE-Q), a 10-item scale used to correlate childhood maltreatment and adverse rearing contexts with adult health outcomes.
The PEARLS screens for a child's exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and other potential risk factors for toxic stress (bullying, community violence, food or housing insecurity, etc.) that may increase a child's risk for negative health outcomes.
Within the questionnaire, there are five questions pertaining to abuse and five that address household dysfunction. Item Scoring: Each question in the ACE questionnaire is scored with one point for every 'yes' response, indicating the presence of a particular adverse experience.
Those with an ACE score of 7 or more were five times more likely than those with an ACE score of 0 to report hallucinations. In addition, those exposed to 4 or more ACE categories were at increased risk for depression, drug abuse, and alcoholism.
In a Petition to Adjudicate Parentage, the court will determine the child's legal parents, usually through DNA testing or other evidence. Once the parentage is established, the court can make decisions about child support, custody, and visitation rights.
Scoring: Sum the items for each of the five domains (attention, memory, fluency, language and visuospatial) to give the Domain Scores for the ACE-III. The Total ACE-III score (/100) consists of the sum of the five domain scores. Sum together the shaded boxes for the Mini-ACE score (/30).
Based on the instrument created by Vincent Felitti and Robert Anda for use with adults28, the CYW Ad- verse Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (CYW ACE-Q) is a clinical screening tool that calculates cumu- lative exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in patients age 0 to 19.
Administering, Scoring, and Interpreting the ACE Each affirmative answer (Yes) is assigned 1 point. ACE score is determined by adding up all the points. An ACE Score of 0 suggest that the person reported no exposure to childhood trauma. An ACE Score of 10 suggests that the person reported exposure to childhood trauma.
You can get temporary custody forms in Texas from the Courts, which your lawyer can help you properly fill out. You'll need to file those forms with the Court in the county where your child lives. Make sure you bring originals of any documents you include in your petition, as well as a few copies.
