Abstract
Studies show that more than sixty percent of adults have some history of trauma. Many traumatic events occur in childhood, contributing to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). ACEs have been linked to chronic health conditions, such as cigarette smoking, alcohol use disorder, obesity, and COPD. Further, those with a history of trauma/ACEs utilize healthcare services at higher rates than those without. Primary care professionals are the first line of treatment for these chronic health conditions that so often have etiologies at least partially rooted in trauma. The physical examination is an important component of care in which primary care providers can build trust and safety with their patients.
