Universal trauma screening process does not exist in the elementary school setting, yet school-aged children have the highest incidence of trauma or adverse childhood experiences. Research indicates implementation of universal screenings for individual students and the student body as a group (systems level data) is feasible. An effective screening process in an elementary school setting was developed by: 1) surveying teachers? perception of trauma among their students, 2) implementing a schoolwide screening process to understand the academic, social, and emotional needs of students and their families, and 3) gathering and sharing resources based on the teacher survey and screening results. The IHI model for improvement was used for this quality improvement project (QI). Using Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycles; and a school behavioral framework guided an evidence-based approach to implementing a screening process in an elementary school setting. Teacher surveys were administered, and three communication strategies were employed to implement the screening and connect with families which included electronic, digital text messaging, in-and person communication. A 100% response rate from teachers surveyed exceeded one of the project?s aims for two of the three questions and 90% response rate for the third question. Teachers also requested more trauma-informed training. There was a 30% engagement rate and almost 17% completion rate of the screening tool. A collaborative process with stakeholders was instrumental in the success of this project. Digital text messaging is an effective method to communicate and engage families, but more iterations of the screening process are needed.
