Study Description
1008 ED Injury Info Study
This study was conceived as a prospective randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of secondary prevention messages conveyed in printed informational materials (handouts and workbooks) for children and parents after pediatric injury treated in the Emergency Department. Children (age 8 - 17 years) and their parents received 1 of 5 randomly assigned workbook sections (each addressing a different key theme). No differences were observed between groups for parent/child knowledge and beliefs about posttraumatic stress and adaptive coping, nor in child posttraumatic stress symptoms. Thus data from all groups were combined for additional analyses of prospective PTS outcomes , coping measures, etc.
