Clinical and Behavioral Indicators Associated with Trauma History in Children and Adolescents Enrolled in an Emergency Department Diversion Program
Ribbers, A., Laurie Lin, A., Sheridan, D., Marshall, R. (2021). Clinical and behavioral indicators associated with trauma history in children and adolescents enrolled in an emergency department diversion program. Emergency Psychiatry, 2021(1), 12-19.
Key Takeaways
- For youth enrolled in CATS, there are a few behavioral and clinical indicators (at intake) that correlate with past trauma exposure, including: a previous suicide attempt, recent or acute sexual aggression, moderate or severe problems in living situation, self-reported fair or poor health, and inability to pay attention.
- Youth with moderate or severe living situation concerns and recent or acute social behavior issues had the highest likelihood of having a trauma history.
- This information may be used to help with identification, treatment, and discharge planning for vulnerable youth.

Key Takeaways
- Providing family with a clear description of what family peer support offers may increase meaningful family engagement with this service
- Improved training specific to engaging families in a high-acuity crisis program may have a positive impact on youth and family outcomes, as well as strengthening the family peer workforce
- A deeper understanding of the positive characteristics of a highly effective family peer support specialist can inform recruitment, training, and supervision of the family peer workforce
- Family engagement with family peer support is higher when the peer support role is introduced early in the service period
