Summary

This trial is testing a new program to help people who have experienced trauma.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English or Spanish speakers aged 16+ who are admitted to George Washington University's trauma center and show a risk for PTSD or depression after injury. Exclusions include severe brain injuries, cognitive impairments, psychosis, inability to communicate verbally, or serious substance abuse.

What is being tested?

The study evaluates the Trauma Resilience and Recovery Program (TRRP) compared with enhanced care in patients at risk of developing PTSD or depression following traumatic injury. It aims to understand patient experiences within these programs.

What are the potential side effects?

Since TRRP is a mental health intervention program rather than a medication, it may not have typical 'side effects'. However, discussing traumatic events could potentially cause emotional discomfort or temporary increases in distress.
