The decision aid, Head CT Choice, educates parents regarding how the clinician determined the severity of their child's head trauma, their child's quantitative risk for a clinically-important TBI, the pros and cons of cranial CT compared to active observation, and what signs and symptoms parents should watch for in the next 24 hours that should prompt a return visit to the ED.
