Subject:Validated tool for psychosocial risk for infant injury
Hi all,
A colleague is interested in developing a validated tool/model for
psychosocial assessment of future risk with unexplained injuries to babies
and toddlers, particularly psycho-social risk of unexplained non accidental
injuries to babies (including shaking). There is the work by Lynn Sheets on sentinel injuries developed by Mary Pierce into "TEN-4-FACES-P" that look at minor injuries associated with more serious ones later like AHT. There are clearly articles talking about risk factors (poverty, stress, unrelated male, etc) and some estimating risk based on medical history. Has anyone seen/developed such a validated tool?
Thanks,
Vince Palusci
