Survey Tool Informed Consent This survey is the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Bermuda Questionnaire. This is designed to collect information from adults in Bermuda about events they experienced during the first 18 years of their lives and their lives now. The survey, as a part of the ACE study, is provided in partnership by Family Centre and the Bermuda Health Council. We will collect information from participants throughout Bermuda. This is a pilot, now, to test the survey and data analysis. The information will be gathered via print and electronic surveys. We will ask you questions about your age, education, employment, family background, community experiences, and your current lifestyle. The survey takes less than ten minutes. Please answer in one sitting, as your answers between pages will not be saved. It is your right, at any time to: - Decline to take part in the study - Withdraw your consent at any time - Decline to answer any questions in the interview that you do not wish to answer Your information will be kept confidential and at no time will be record your name. As this is a pilot, the results will be made public for limited review and inform the larger public survey distribution. If you would like more information about the questions in this questionnaire, a print copy of this survey, or for information about mental health or physical health services related to this questionnaire, please email stephanie@tfc.bm or tdhines@gov.bm.

Preliminary Findings (Pilot) • Current data demonstrates higher NCD burden, especially among highly educated (defined as post- graduate completion). • Those who identified unaffordable care were more likely to have multiple co-morbidities
Preliminary Findings (Pilot) • More than half of respondents experienced some form of child sexual abuse • Those who have had an individual die from RTC are more likely to abide by safety recommendations • Disease recognition, regardless of education and age is difficult
Next Steps • Full survey deployment • Goal: Statistical Significance • Publication • Journal • Deployment • Screening tool development
