Trauma-Informed School Environment Models: Scoping Review Dataset

This dataset contains the complete data pipeline from a scoping review examining models of trauma-informed school environments in general secondary education (K-12). The review was conducted in accordance with the Arksey & O'Malley (2005) framework and reported following the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR; Tricco et al., 2018).

AI and Tool Disclosure

AI assistance (Claude, Anthropic) was used at multiple stages: performing automated first-level filtering, preparing the data charting matrix, and organizing the data for storage. All decisions, inclusion/exclusion criteria, second-level screening, data interpretation, and final text were determined and verified by the human researcher.
