What the grant funds

Essentials for Childhood (EfC): Preventing Adversity through Data to Action, a cooperative agreement designed to support states in the prevention of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and promotion of positive childhood experiences (PCEs). ACEs are preventable, potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years) such as experiencing or witnessing violence, experiencing neglect; witnessing violence in the home. Also included are aspects of the child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding such as growing up in a household with substance use problems, mental health problems, or instability due to parental separation or incarceration of a parent, sibling or other member of the household. ACEs can have significant consequences, including associations with poor health outcomes (e.g., asthma, cancer, heart disease), health risk behaviors (e.g., current smoking and heavy drinking), mental health challenges (depression, anxiety), and socioeconomic challenges (e.g., unemployment and no health insurance). The three primary goals of this NOFO are to 1) enhance a state-level surveillance infrastructure that ensures the capacity to collect, analyze, and use ACE and PCE data to inform ACE prevention strategies and approaches; 2) support the implementation of data-driven, comprehensive, evidence-based ACE primary prevention strategies and approaches, particularly with a focus on health equity; and 3) conduct data to action activities on an ongoing basis to inform changes or adaptations to existing strategies or selection and implementation of additional strategies. Health equity is the attainment of the highest level of health for all people. Achieving health equity requires valuing everyone equally with focused and ongoing societal efforts to address avoidable inequalities, historical and contemporary injustices, and the elimination of health and healthcare disparities. Health inequities are health differences or disparities that are systematic, unfair, and avoidable. Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, learn, work, and age. The goal is for everyone to attain equitable access to life circumstances such as education, occupation, and income to achieve optimal health, well-being, and safety.
