Robert F. Anda, MD, MS

Presenting the Dr. Mario Pazzaglini Keynote Address The Ins (Innovations) and Outs (Outcomes) of Recovery Robert Anda, MD, MS has designed and conducted epidemiologic studies for more than 20 years. He is mostwell known for his co-principal investigator work on the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, an ongoing collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kaiser Permanente. The ACE Study is perhaps the largest scientific research study of its kind, analyzing the relationship between multiple categories of childhood trauma, and health and behavioral outcomes later in life. The ACE Study demonstrates the relationship of childhood abuse, neglect, domestic violence and related experiences to health throughout the lifespan. The outcomes allow scientists, researchers and health professionals to bridge the gap between childhood trauma and negative consequences later in life.

In this Pazzaglini Keynote Address, Dr. Anda will provide an overview of the ACE Study and explore how the outcomes can inform our practices to create a healthier and moreresilient Delaware. The ACE Study has led to many innovations in our field, perhaps themost noteworthy is the practice of trauma informed care. Dr. Anda will provide insights into using the findings of the ACE study to create new practices and policies that promote excellence in care and recovery. For the purposes of this keynote, an innovation is a new way of doing things to improve health care delivery. An innovation may be a product, a service, a process, a system, an organizational structure, or a business model. As we come together to learn with Dr. Anda, we are challenged to think critically as to how we can use the ACE Study outcomes to bring innovation to our daily work.
