**Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study Publications**

**(Updated, 5-2003)**

Dear Colleague: Attached is a list of publications from the Adverse
Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, plus pending articles. We soon will
start analysis of the prospective arm of the Study; this will show the
economic consequences in medical care of abusive childhood experiences,
on average a half-century earlier. A book for general readership is
planned. You may track future publications or read abstracts by entering
the National Library of Medicine web site, Pub Med, at
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi> and entering *Felitti*
under 'author name'.
