Evaluating the Feasibility and Effectiveness of an Interdisciplinary Verbal De-Escalation and Implicit Bias Check Training for Agitation Management in the Emergency Department

Additional research is needed to understand if such integrated training can also reduce physical restraint use, racial disparities in restraint use, and WPV events.
