4.1. Background
4.1.1. Having access to better statistics on the prevalence of ACEs - and the effect that various treatments have - could improve trauma-informed care on a nation-wide basis
4.1.2. Using technology to screen for ACEs and to collect data on the types of interventions people receive and whether and how they get better would make this kind of data science possible and fairly trivial (correlation, not causation)
4.1.3. Privacy issues are very important to take into account

4.2.1.1. A local community
4.2.1.2. A county
4.2.1.3. A region
4.2.1.4. A state
4.2.1.5. Nation-wide
4.2.2. Comparisons of ACE scores across communities, locations, and across various other parameters
4.2.3. Insight into what treatments indicate which effects across various parameters
