| Summary: | Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are common and affect the overall functioning of adults, but there is a need to understand how to better address the health impact of ACEs on adults in primary healthcare settings. A narrative review was utilized to extract data from seminal articles to (1) operationalize the influence of ACEs on health outcomes, (2) assess the primary care behavioral health (PCBH) model as a mechanism to address the influence of ACEs, and (3) identify mechanisms to expand the PCBH model to explicitly address spiritual determinants of health. The extracted data revealed that ACEs influence the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual health of patients providing a rationale for integrating psychosocial and spiritual treatment within primary healthcare settings. Simultaneously, the PCBH model integrates psychosocial interventions into existing primary care services but does not explicitly address spiritual determinants. Recommendations for expansion include (1) training for clinicians on evidence-based interventions to address spirituality, (2) spiritual screening tools in PCBH settings, and (3) consultation with chaplains as needed. |
