The survey below refers to how many Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) you experienced while you were growing up, during your first 18 years of life. This is an anonymous survey and the Franklin County Health Department and Franklin County Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) hopes to use the results from the survey and GIS mapping to identify targeted areas in Franklin County that may have higher ACE scores to develop targeted interventions, messages and education to increase the health of our community.
Instructions for completing the survey:
1.
Read through the questions and for any of the 10 questions you answer yes, please add 1 to your score. If you answer no, you would add 0.
2.
At the end of the survey enter the number of yes’ you had – you do not have to identify which questions you answered yes to, just the total number. For example, if you answered yes to 1, 7, 9 and 10 your ACE score would be 4 and you would enter that in the “ACE Score Total” box.
3.
Provide what Elementary School district your home address is in (this may be different than the school your child attends – please choose the school district your home address is currently in).
Your feedback is invaluable and we appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey. Thank you!
