The Ace Study & Its Importance – The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is ongoing collaborative research between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA, and Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, CA.

Why this is So Important?
This is one of the few studies that found a clear connection between abuse and trauma and obesity.

Is this Study Significant?
Over 17,000 Kaiser patients participating in routine health screening volunteered to participate in The Study. Data resulting from their participation continues to be analyzed; it reveals staggering proof of the health, social, and economic risks that result from childhood trauma.
