Abstract:
In 2015, a national working group developed and published a conceptual framework for trauma-informed primary care (Machtinger, Cuca, Khanna, Dawson-Rose, & Kimberg, 2015). Since that publication, there has been increasing recognition that childhood and adult trauma underlie and perpetuate many physical and behavioral health conditions seen in health care settings and that addressing trauma could fundamentally improve the experience and efficacy of care for both patients and providers. A number of high-level efforts are currently under way to translate trauma-informed principles and frameworks into practical guidance for health care providers and practices (e.g., clinics and offices), including comprehensive endeavors by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the National Council for Behavioral Health.
