【 摘 要 】

Recent events confirm the widespread impact of trauma on health and well-being and have led many to call for incorporation of trauma-informed care (TIC), particularly in health care settings. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, highly visible racial violence, and escalating climate disasters, decades of research demonstrated that trauma1 profoundly affects health and well-being across the life course. Nevertheless, based on our experience in practice, conversations with other experts in the field, and review of the literature, it is clear that the current evidence base supporting TIC is grossly insufficient. In fact, as we note below, this deficiency has been clear to scholars for many years. Therefore, rather than writing another critique of the inadequacies of TIC, we offer this commentary to identify specific action steps needed to advance TIC to its rightful place as a driver of quality care.
