Summary

Each year, roughly 600,000 patients served in U.S. trauma centers develop posttraumatic stress disorder or depression after traumatic injury, but few receive mental health follow-up care. The Trauma Resilience and Recovery Program is a sustainable, stepped-care model that has addressed the mental health needs of over 8,000 patients in four Level I-II trauma centers and is being adopted by 8 additional trauma centers in the Carolinas. This study will examine the effectiveness and implementation of TRRP with a diverse sample of 350 patients served at The George Washington University hospital.
