Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression Score at Emergency Department Triage Is Associated With Behavioral Intervention: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Future research should assess how proactive interventions based on DASA scores influence violence risk and investigate the predictive value of consecutive DASA evaluations throughout ED encounters.
