LOINC long common name : BRFSS ACE Module [ACE.BRFSS];
LOINC description : The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) questionnaire surveys a person's exposure
to child abuse and neglect and household challenges prior to age 18. The Behavior
Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) initiative that collects data from U.S. adults using random telephone surveys.
The BRFSS began using an adapted version of the original CDC-Kaiser ACE module in
2009, which adaptation is not copyrighted and is available free of charge from the
CDC [http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/acestudy/ace_brfss.html]. The CDC definitions
of the ACEs derived from the Kaiser-CDC study are also represented in LOINC [LOINC:82813-7].;
