Future Directions
The ACE study is now in its 10th year and the prospective phase is
currently underway. In this ongoing stage of the study, data are being
gathered from various sources including outpatient medical records, pharmacy
utilization records, and hospital discharge records to track the subsequent
health outcomes and health care use of ACE Study participants. In addition,
an examination of National Death Index records will be conducted to
establish the relationship between ACE and mortality among the ACE Study
population.
International interest in replications of the ACE Study is growing. At
present there is knowledge of efforts to replicate the ACE Study or use its
questionnaire in Canada, China, Jordan, Norway, the Philippines and the
United Kingdom. In Puerto Rico, the link between women’s cardiovascular
health risks and ACE are under study. In addition, the World Health
Organization has included the ACE Study questionnaires as an addendum to the
document Preventing Child Maltreatment: A Guide to Taking Action and
Generating Evidence. (October
