Six-month follow-up of the injured trauma survivor screen: Clinical implications and future directions.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The injured trauma survivor screen (ITSS) has been shown to predict posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression risk at 1 month after traumatic injury.

METHODS:Patients were enrolled following admission to a Level I trauma center.
