CHATS Screening Tool
Ohio Domestic Violence Network has a new enhanced version of their CARE CHATS tool, a brain injury “screening”/identification tool developed in 2019 and designed to be used as a part of the CARE (Connect, Acknowledge, Respond, Evaluate) framework.
Enhancements include:
Additional question under C to capture other types of events that could cause brain injuries through oxygen deprivation to the brain, including overdoses and medical issues
Additional question under H to capture other types of events to the head, neck and face that could cause brain injuries,, including accidents, shaking, or while using substances
Additional questions under T to capture troubles related to social determinants of health, which are often of primary significance to DV survivors.
