Proposed Project Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior of Medical Residents toward Adult Patients Who Have Experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences— PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20055 New—National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Recent advances in public health and medical research have underscored the role childhood trauma plays in the genesis of major risk factors for the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among adults in the United States. Evidence from a range of samples suggests that exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is more common than previously understood, and that those affected by ACEs will have a major impact on the delivery of health care services through higher utilization and treatment costs. Although these findings are widely cited by psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers, it is less clear that this information has circulated broadly within medical professions where it may be helpful in secondary and tertiary prevention of health problems. The literature also suggests that physicians may be uncomfortable with screening adult patients for ACEs. As part of ongoing efforts to reduce the burden of chronic disease, the Division of Adult and Community Health at CDC seeks to collect information about the penetration into current medical education of evidence concerning the relationship between ACEs and poor adult health. Information will be collected by administering a brief voluntary questionnaire to 300 fourth-year medical residents. The sample will be drawn from a range of U.S. medical schools as well as through the American Medical Student Association. Potential participants will be solicited via e-mail, and those who choose to participate will be directed via a web-link to a webbased survey instrument. Information to be collected includes residency type, public health experience, and an attitudes and knowledge measure designed to determine medical residents’ current expertise in recognizing the long-term outcomes associated with adverse childhood experiences. By understanding the quality of medical education in this area and the attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of medical residents, educational initiatives can be developed that will address the unmet needs of future physicians to care for the large number of patients burdened by ACEs. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM 14APN1
