โœฆ Synopsis

Posttraumatic stress was assessed in 114 motor vehicle accident ( M A ) victims within 2 weeks of hospital admission. Approximately one third of patients reported high levels of posttraumatic stress and am'ety. Intrusion symptoms

Findings indicate that intrusion and avoidance responses to trauma are mediated by different patterns of injury-related and response-related factors.
