Psychometric Evaluation of the Trauma-Informed Care Provider Assessment Tool.

The increasing recognition of adverse childhood experiences as a significant factor in adult health outcomes underscores the need for trauma-informed care (TIC) in healthcare settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the TIC Provider Assessment Tool (TIC-PAT) designed for primary care providers. The TIC-PAT aligns with the TIC Pyramid framework and assesses both universal trauma precautions and trauma-specific care.
