    Abstract
    Childhood trauma greatly impacts the lives of patients and their future health outcomes. Since the discovery of the utility of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) screening tool in the 1990s, many providers have attempted to screen and intervene on these past experiences of trauma with mixed results. ACEs have an outsized impact on adult health. There is considerable literature documenting the changing state of screening for ACEs in adult populations, and the compelling rationales for doing so. There are also a number of interventions available currently, but providers face challenges to use them. Ethical considerations and issues with the current state of screening for ACEs exist, due to some of these challenges and differential availability of interventions between populations. Here, I use the principles of urban bioethics to explain the ethical obligation of screening for ACEs despite these challenges and to dispute previous discussions on this topic. This article will show that there are general strategies that providers can take to implement ACEs screening in an ethical manner and specifically discusses trauma-informed care’s utility to help achieve these strategies. Through this discussion, I hope to encourage providers to reconsider ACEs screening and give them strategies to do so.
