AVA ACE Study DVD Available From APSAC
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study is the largest and most influential study of the relationship between childhood adversity and long term health. The AVA ACE Study DVD contains the most comprehensive description of the ACE Study findings and replications of those findings among a general population sample in Washington State and other similar findings from large nationally representative samples.
This DVD features plenary addresses by the ACE Study Co-Investigators, Drs. Vincent Felitti and Rob Anda along with discussion by Dr. Frank Putnam, an internationally renowned childhood trauma researcher and child psychiatrist. The DVD also includes individual interviews with Drs. Felitti and Anda along with an interview with Dr. David Williamson, the obesity researcher and CDC epidemiologist who, after hearing Dr. Felitti speak in 1990 about his clinical observations of increased rates of child sexual abuse among obese women in his San Diego Kaiser Permanente Preventive Medicine Program, introduced Dr. Felitti to Dr. Anda who then developed the methodology, oversaw the research and supervised the scientific publications from the ACE study.
To date, there have been more than 60 scientific publications from the ACE Study. Dr. Putnam describes how the ACE Study "changed the landscape" regarding how researchers and clinicians look at childhood trauma.
APSAC members can now order this tool and pay just $45. Select this link for details and ordering.
2013 APSAC Advanced Forensic Interview Clinics Scheduled for Virginia and Seattle
APSAC is offering two forensic interview clinics in 2013. These clinics offer 40 hours of intensive training on investigating interviewing of children.
APSAC pioneered the Forensic Interview Training Clinic model to focus on the needs of professionals responsible for conducting forensic/investigative interviews with children in suspected abuse cases. Interviews with children face intense scrutiny and increasingly require specialized training and expertise. These comprehensive Clinics provide a unique training experience that offers personal interaction with leading experts in the field of child forensic interviewing. Developed by top experts, APSAC’s curriculum teaches a structured narrative interview approach that emphasizes best practices based on research and is guided by best interests of the child.
Attendees will receive a balanced review of several protocols and will develop their own customized narrative interview approach based on the principles taught during the Clinics.
The first clinic will be held April 15-19, 2013, in Norfolk, Virginia. A second clinic is being offered July 22-26, 2013, in Seattle, Washington. Details are available on the APSAC web site, www.apsac.org. Registration for this event is not yet open.
