METHODOLOGY

This Risk Assessment is based on the well established Adverse Childhood Experiences Assessment. The only real difference is it measures cumulative adverse experience through a lifetime, not just childhood.Since very few are taught how to cope with these experience or have access to trauma treatment, there is no reason o believe these adverse experiences don't keep accumulating throughout life. In fact, evidence indicates the opposite is true. 

SCORING

The ACE assessment contains 20 y/n questions. A score can be attained quickly by multiplying by 20 to get a percentage.
