The September meeting was hosted at the home of Dr. Elaine Salzer, and featured guest speaker Dr. Paula Zeanah, who presented on the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, commonly referred to as the ACES study.
The ACES study was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente between 1995 and 1997, and included over 17,000 adults from around the United States. Dr. Zeneah reviewed the links they found between adverse childhood experiences and several major medical and mental health conditions in later adulthood. She also discussed the various ACE educational and research activities in Louisiana. Dr. Zeanah also discussed general health outcome data as well as adolescent and adult sexual health outcome data for Louisiana.
