which included a structured review of clinical practice guidelines, a
systematic review of the pediatric chronic pain assessment tool literature and
expert consensus of assessment tools.
Section 2.0: Clinical practice points
<http://hollandbloorview.ca/Assets/website/documents/Teaching%20and%20learning%20documents/Evidence%20to%20Care/Section2.0.pdf>

evidence-informed decision making when assessing chronic pain in children with
communicative, cognitive and physical impairments.
Section 3.0: Pediatric chronic pain

inclusion in the Toolbox, 7 of which examine chronic pain interference and 8
address chronic pain coping.
