Clinic screening for adverse childhood experiences in people living with HIV to Improve Care Delivery

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with negative health outcomes; however, screening for ACEs is not routinely performed among people living with HIV (PLWH). We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional pilot study to define the (1) prevalence of ACEs in PLWH and (2) acceptability...

Description
Summary:Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with negative health outcomes; however, screening for ACEs is not routinely performed among people living with HIV (PLWH). We conducted a single-center, cross-sectional pilot study to define the (1) prevalence of ACEs in PLWH and (2) acceptability of ACEs screening in routine out-patient clinical care. One hundred participants completed screening: median age of participants was 49 years (interquartile range: 38.5-59.5), 73% male, 66% Non-Hispanic Black/African American, and 47% gay/lesbian. Clinically significant ACEs score, defined as ≥4, was reported in 51%. High ACEs score was more common among participants
