Project Name: Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adult Health in ASAPS Members

Project Summary: We have recently documented the prevalence of 10 different types of adverse childhood experiences (ACE's) and body shame in 218 plastic surgery patients. ACE's are both common (64% in a general medical population, 80% in our patients), and ACE Score correlates directly with many adult health problems. To our knowledge, no physician group has ever been tested. That is the goal of this study.
