Brief Summary

The purpose of this study to learn about patients' experience with the Trauma Resilience and Recovery program (TRRP) and/or the enhanced care group.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * English- or Spanish-speaking patients ≥ 16 years old who are admitted to George Washington University hospital's trauma center and screen positive on the Injured Trauma Survivors Screen (which indicates risk for development of posttraumatic stress disorder and/or depression) will be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have a Glasgow Coma Scale score under 13 at hospital admission, moderate to severe cognitive impairment (as measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment), active psychosis, or injury that prevents verbal communication (e.g., serious head or spinal cord injury) or is self-inflicted will be excluded. Patients with positive substance use screens via GWU's SBIRT protocol (\~7% of the patient population) will be assessed by the clinical team with reference to severity and recency of substance use problems. We have found at MUSC that a high percentage of patients with SBIRT- positive screens are nevertheless good candidates for TRRP (\>85%), but patients with serious, active substance abuse problems are likely not good candidates for TRRP and therefore will be excluded and referred to a substance use treatment center.
