Details: Throughout history, the most remarkable discoveries were often not the intent of the original experiment. Likewise, The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study originated from observations made during a weight-loss program in the 1980s at Kaiser Permanente's obesity clinic in San Diego, California. Dr. Vincent Felitti, who led the program, observed a peculiar phenomenon: the participants who successfully lost significant weight later dropped out of the program and regained their weight. Upon deeper investigation, Felitti discovered that many of these individuals had a history of childhood trauma, such as abuse, neglect, or family dysfunction.
A survey in the 1990s of more than 17,000 adults found that childhood trauma could profoundly influence an individual's lifelong health and behavior. The findings revolutionized public health by highlighting the critical role of early-life experiences in shaping future health and the need for trauma-informed care and prevention strategies.
This study is dedicated to people both male and female whose lives were negatively impacted by ACEs.
