Podcast appearances and mentions of Vincent J Felitti

Hosted by writers Emma Atkinson and Jordyn Reiland, RadioEd is a triweekly podcast created by the DU Newsroom that taps into the University of Denver's deep pool of bright brains to explore the most compelling and interesting research coming out of DU. See below for a transcript of this episode. This week, production assistant and DU graduate student Madeleine Lebovic steps in to host.  Show Notes When Hollywood paints a picture of childhood, it's often one of nostalgia-tinged wonder. Playing outside, moments of carefree innocence and the highs and lows of the adventure of self-discovery.   But this is not the childhood that everyone experiences. For many, childhood was a place of uncertainty and fear. And when those kids grow up to become parents, those hard realities can impact their own parenting. How can we break those cycles of intergenerational trauma? This week on RadioEd, Madeleine Lebovic chats with Associate Professor of Clinical Child Psychology Angela Narayan about the surprising science behind reflecting on positive childhood experiences – and how it can help parents counter childhood adversity.  Angela Narayan, PhD, LP, is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Child Psychology PhD Program in the Department of Psychology at the University of Denver (DU). She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She received her PhD in Clinical Child Psychology from the Institute of Child Development at the University of Minnesota and completed a predoctoral internship and post-doctoral fellowship in the Department of Psychiatry and Child Trauma Research Program at UCSF. Narayan directs a program of research that examines how childhood adversity and positive childhood experiences have enduring effects on development across adolescence, adulthood and parenthood. She is particularly interested in understanding intergenerational pathways of adversity, psychopathology, and resilience in populations with diverse backgrounds.  Narayan is a licensed clinical psychologist in Colorado and a clinical supervisor in the Center for Child and Family Psychology (CCFP) in the DU Department of Psychology. Her expertise is in trauma-informed therapies (e.g., Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and relationship-based and parent-focused treatments (e.g., Parent Management Training, Interpersonal Psychotherapy). She also directs the DU Department of Psychology's PROTECT Lab where researchers study the intergenerational transmission of risk and resilience across families and generations. Links to different versions of the Benevolent Childhood Experiences scale, used to assess positive experiences in childhood, can be found under instruments. More Information: Positive childhood experiences predict less psychopathology and stress in pregnant women with childhood adversity: A pilot study of the benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) scale by Angela Narayan et al. A multisystem, dimensional interplay of assets versus adversities: Revised benevolent childhood experiences (BCEs) in the context of childhood maltreatment, threat, and deprivation by Angela Narayan et al.  Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults: The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study by Vincent J Felitti, MD, FACP et al.  Information on ACEs from the CDC

The 1998 CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study helped build public understanding of the consequences of untreated childhood trauma. All these years later, does this tool tell the complete story? In this panel discussion recorded at National Children's Alliance's 2022 Leadership Conference, we explore what ACEs can—and can't—accomplish in terms of influencing public support for policies that benefit kids. How can ACE screenings be used (and misused)? And what's next for public health messaging that matters. Join Dr. Ernestine Briggs-King and Dr. Jonathan Purtle for a panel discussion moderated by NCA CEO Teresa Huizar in our first live-to-tape episode of One in Ten. Topics in this episode: Origin stories (2:07)What's good and bad about ACEs (5:39)Public policy messaging (14:15)ACEs and racism (22:42)Protective factors and resilience (24:58)The six messages (29:08)What we're curious about (36:48)Audience questions (39:54)Links: Ernestine Briggs-King, Ph.D., is a clinical/community psychologist; the director of research at the Center for Child and Family Health; director of the Data and Evaluation Program at the UCLA-Duke University National Center for Child Traumatic Stress; and an associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine Jonathan Purtle, Ph.D., is associate professor of public health policy and management and director of policy research at NYU's Global Center for Implementation Science CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (1998), Vincent J.

Adverse Childhood Experiences Webinar by Dr. Vincent J. Felitti

Oh hey there, welcome back for more chatting about childhood trauma and health! While we won't reveal our own ACE scores, Paola reminisces on the hush hush around childhood trauma in high school, while Taylor reminds us all to be mindful that everyone experiences a different childhood - ACE scores are not tattooed on foreheads. We discuss the connection between physical and mental wellness, and advocate for integrated healthcare that includes collaboration between medical and mental health treatments. Join us as we take this research off the page and explore how this study hits us all in the real world! (Shout out to Dax Shepard in his Armchair Expert podcast for being open about his childhood experiences in a way that normalizes conversations about them) Today's study is called, "Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults" by Vincent J. Felitti, Robert F. Anda, Dale Nordenberg, David F. Williamson, Alison M. Spitz, Valerie Edwards, Mary P. Koss, & James S. Marks. It was organized by the Center for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente and published in 1998. You can find the study here: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0749-3797(98)00017-8 or listen to last week's episode to hear the breakdown! If you would like to explore your own Adverse Childhood Experiences score: click here. (Please note: the study we discuss today had ACE Questionnaire scores between 0-7. The current version of the ACE Questionnaire has scores between 0-10, as it has three additional adverse childhood experiences including emotional disconnection, neglect, and parental separation in questions 4, 5, & 6.)

This week, Paola and Taylor want to talk about your ACE score - and no, we don't mean tennis. We want to explore one of the first studies to connect childhood trauma to negative health outcomes in adulthood. Today's study is often referred to as the ACE study, as it examines how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) can affect our long-term health outcomes in adulthood. It turns out, that childhood adversity may be a stepping stone to some of the leading causes of death in America. The study examines seven ACEs: psychological abuse, physical abuse, and sexual abuse, as well as exposure to household substance use, household mental illness, household incarceration, and domestic violence. Tune in to hear just how these researchers uncovered a connection between childhood trauma and adversity to negative health outcomes in adulthood. Today's study is called, "Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults" by Vincent J. Felitti, Robert F. Anda, Dale Nordenberg, David F. Williamson, Alison M. Spitz, Valerie Edwards, Mary P. Koss, & James S. Marks. It was organized by the Center for Disease Control and Kaiser Permanente and published in 1998.

WHEN ACES HIGH IS A BAD THING: ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES There was a time when people believed that children are resilient and that if something bad happened to them, they would just be able to adapt and grow up and get on with their lives. Besides, there weren’t that many traumatic things that could happen to kids anyway. Then the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study revealed a major problem with that thinking. Turns out there are multiple traumatic experiences that can and frequently do, happen to children and they commonly lead to adults with mental problems, chronic diseases, and who are victimized and victimizers. In the nearly 20 years since the ACE Study came out, how has the information been used and adapted; how have policies changed; and do we see courts, institutions, organizations, and therapists who have changed policies and procedures because of this astounding research? Vincent J. Felitti, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, Senior Editor of the Permanente Journal, advisor to numerous professional organizations and associations, and one of the two principal investigators of the ACE study will share with us how the study came about, what it revealed, and how it has or has not changed the way we care for children. Joining him will be Jane Ellen Stevens, founder and publisher of the ACEs Connection Network, focus on research about adverse childhood experiences, and how people are implementing trauma-informed and resilience-building practices based on that research.
