An Ontological Framework to Improve Surveillance of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

An Ontological Framework to Improve Surveillance of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Stud Health Technol Inform. 2019;258:31-35 Authors: Brenas JH, Shin EK, Shaban-Nejad A Abstract Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been proven to be linked to increased risks of a multitude of negative health outcomes and conditions when children reach adulthood and beyond. To better understand the relationship between ACEs and the associated health outcomes and eventually to pan and implement preventive interventions, access to an integrated coherent actionable data set is crucial. In this paper, we introduce a formal reusable ontological framework to capture the knowledge in the domain of Adverse Childhood Experiences to improve ACEs surveillance and response.
