The Alberta adverse childhood experiences survey 2013 /

Implications of the findings: We need to focus on prevention of ACEs and recovery from ACEs to decrease the risk for poor outcomes. [...] A more comprehensive approach to conceptualizing ACEs that combined specific domains and number of ACEs showed that the profile that conferred the greatest risk for poor adult health outcomes included ACEs in both the abuse and household dysfunction domain. [...] In terms of single domains, the profile of high risk (greater number of ACEs) in the abuse domain was a more consistent risk profile across adult health outcomes than the profile of high risk in the household dysfunction domain. [...] The Alberta Survey aimed for a sample size of 1200 participants, with equal representation by gender, and at least 400 respondents in each of Calgary, Edmonton, and the remainder of Alberta. [...] Prior to asking the main survey questions, the interviewer informed the participant of the voluntary nature of their participation and about the confidentiality of their responses.
