Wilder Research partnered with the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to learn what Minnesota communities are doing to prevent and address adverse childhood experiences, or PACEs, as well as build resiliency. The evaluation aimed to identify gaps in PACEs and resilience programming across Minnesota, to learn how organizations and practitioners were capturing the impact of their work, and to inform the creation of a statewide dashboard.
In collaboration with MDH, Wilder Research conducted the following: 1) key informant interviews to learn about strategies being used to prevent and address ACEs across the state 2) an indicator scan of existing data sources, and 3) a meta-analysis of documents detailing Minnesota PACEs efforts. This document presents what was learned from these efforts and implications for future work.
