Abstract
Given the increasing numbers of pediatric mental health visits to emergency departments (EDs) across North America, ED clinicians require a quick and reliable way to facilitate their assessment and to transition patients from the ED to services in the community that meet their needs. This presentation will describe the development and psychometric properties of an innovative psychosocial screening tool. The Home, Education, Activities and peers, Drugs and alcohol, Suicidality, Emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, and Discharge resources (HEADS-ED) was originally developed for use in pediatric EDs and expanded to hospital-based centralized mental health intake services, and it is being used to facilitate the transition of discharged patients to appropriate community services.
