This query was created as a collaboration between the ISDS Syndrome Definition Committee (SDC) members with input from the CDC, Division of Violence Prevention. The query includes keywords and discharge diagnosis codes (ICD 10, ICD 9, and SNOMED) for self-harm, suicide ideation and suicide attempt. The query has been evaluated using national and local data from several states and counties.
Attached is a word document with multiple syndromes that we have found useful during the coagulopathy cluster situation. Most used queries are highlighted in yellow.

Query purpose:
The purpose of this definition is to assist state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal public health practitioners in detecting and monitoring trends of suspected sex trafficking among emergency departments and ambulatory healthcare settings for adult and minor patients. The definition is not intended to be used for case-finding, which has the potential to unintentionally place trafficking victims at risk, but instead for monitoring trends.
