Developed by the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville Department of Emergency Medicine, the Pain Management and Assessment Initiative (PAMI) is a robust resource for assessing pediatric pain. All PAMI created materials are free access and can be utilized for educational programs or adapted to institutional needs. Portions of this pediatric module were adapted from Illinois Emergency Medical Services for Children materials.
The Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) Toolkit is a free resource for medical settings (emergency department, inpatient medical/surgical units, outpatient clinics/primary care) that can help nurses or physicians successfully identify youth at risk for suicide. The ASQ is a set of four screening questions that takes 20 seconds to administer.
The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), is a free resource that supports suicide risk assessment through a series of simple, plain-language questions that anyone can ask. The answers help users identify whether someone is at risk for suicide, assess the severity and immediacy of that risk, and gauge the level of support that the person needs.
