Abstract

This article focuses on the medical social worker's role in the collaborative effort by the various professionals dedicated to identifying and treating cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Key topics include the interview with the attending parent or caregiver of the injured child, the nature of the information that is to be gathered from the interview, suggested techniques for the effective gathering of this information, and how to best advocate for the needs of the victim of SBS in a pediatric hospital.
