Bedside mental health risk screening of traumatic injury patients is enhanced by measurement of injury mechanism and social support.

Background: The American College of Surgeons now requires mental health screening and follow up for hospitalized patients in trauma centers. National estimates indicate that 20-40 % of these patients will develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or depression within one year post-injury. Research has identified brief bedside screens that predict PTSD and depression post-discharge, such as the Injured Trauma Survivor Screen and Peritraumatic Distress Inventory.

Estimating the Prevalence of Child Abuse and Neglect Among Adolescents in Primary Care Through Diagnoses Codes and Free-Text EHR Clinical Notes.

Introduction: Adolescents' child abuse and neglect experiences are often under-documented in primary care, leading to missed opportunities for interventions. This study compares the prevalence of child abuse and neglect cases identified by diagnostic codes versus a natural language processing approach of clinical notes.

Method: We retrospectively analyzed data from 8,157 adolescents, using ICD-10 codes and a natural language processing algorithm to identify child abuse and neglect cases and applied topic modeling on clinical notes to extract prevalent topics.

The Effects of a Stepped-Care Mental Health Program on Trauma Recidivism at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effects of a stepped-care mental health program (TRRP) on trauma recidivism at a single institution.

Methods: Designs: Retrospective review.

Setting: single Level 1 trauma center.

Hybrid 1 randomized controlled trial of an integrated stepped-care mental health intervention for traumatic injury patients.

Background: Annually, nearly 3 million individuals in the US are hospitalized after experiencing a traumatic injury (e.g., serious automobile crash, gunshot wound, stab injury).

A comparison of virtual versus in-person delivery of SafeCare on parent and implementation outcomes.

Background: Evidence-based prevention services for child abuse and neglect (CAN), typically delivered via home visiting (HV), pivoted to virtual delivery in 2020 to continue family services while adhering to the COVID-19 public health guidelines.

Objective: The study aims are to compare parent and implementation outcomes for the HV program, SafeCare©, delivered virtually versus in-person, across a 2-year period.

Methods: Three data sources were used to examine parent program engagement and skill mastery, as well as provider fidelity.
