Abstract
There is limited research into the psychological aftermath for people who have experienced road accidents, especially outside major cities. This study by postal survey used the General Health Questionnaire-28, the Impact of Events Scale, the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Interview, and the Late Effects of Accidental Injury Questionnaire to assess the psychological effects on a sample of 80 people who had attended a hospital in a regional Australian centre following road accidents. Results showed that there were marked effects on many people and that these had not always been diagnosed or treated.
