1005 Risk Screening in the ED After Injury

Study Description

Title

1005 Risk Screening in the ED After Injury

Abstract

This project aimed to refine and validate a screening protocol practical and feasible for use in the Emergency Department or during acute hospitalization, to aid health care providers in assessing risk of post-traumatic psychological sequelae in injured children and their parents.

The study addressed the following research questions:

  1. Is it feasible to screen injured children and their parents for risk factors for PTSD during acute care?
  2. Does the proposed screening tool predict which children will go on to develop symptoms of PTSD, when it is administered by ED clinicians?
