The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) quiz is a tool used to identify the impact of childhood trauma on long-term health and well-being. Developed from a landmark study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Kaiser Permanente, the quiz consists of ten questions that assess various types of abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction experienced during childhood.

The results of the ACES quiz help highlight the correlation between early adverse experiences and future health issues, including mental health challenges, chronic diseases, and social difficulties. By understanding one’s ACES score, individuals and healthcare providers can better address and mitigate the long-term effects of childhood trauma, promoting healing and resilience.
