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. 000010032 650__ $$aSchool Mental Health Services$$013032 000010032 650__ $$aText Messaging$$039698 000010032 650__ $$aAdverse Childhood Experiences$$012614 000010032 6531_ $$atrauma-informed care 000010032 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000010032 7001_ $$aDzata, Enyo (Vivian) 000010032 7001_ $$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010032 8564_ $$9ad9fa6ba-47c1-43a6-8b0d-7c4c02dad1bf$$s761716$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10032/files/Dzata.Enyo.2023.pdf 000010032 905__ $$a/rest/prod/s7/52/6d/37/s7526d377 000010032 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10032$$pstudent-work 000010032 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
