Goals of the OBD Triage Assessment Model are to:
 
  • Ensure diagnostic physicians have accurate, relevant information required for a diagnosis of organic brain injury.

  • Reduce the incidence of inappropriate referrals for medical evaluation.

  • Investigate genetic load factors, nutritional and health status, physical injury to the mother (fetus) and other teratogenic possibilities that may compromise fetal development with outcomes to be provided for the diagnostic physician's analysis and evaluation.

  • Elevate the current standard of screening and enhance diagnostic outcomes.

  • Provide children, youth and adults involved with Community and Social Services agencies with a detailed, precise chronological history including social, genetic, medical, cognitive and behavioral issues and appropriate services pending medical evaluation.

  • Present biological mothers with support services in pre and post screening stages of assessment in order to augment provision of information and address prevention issues.

  • Collect global data (statistics) to be available for use in further research, policy planning and prevention strategies.
