Screening—assume a trauma history, but<br />
always screen for current safety.<br />
If screening for past trauma, then guidelines are<br />
helpful.<br />
► Wait to screen after the person has adjusted<br />
rather than upon admission<br />
► Explain the screening in advance, how the<br />
information will be used to benefit him or her,<br />
then ask if you can continue.<br />
► Use valid screening tools that focus on presentday<br />
symptoms. Use a checklist when asking about<br />
past abuse rather than an interview.
