Improving Recovery for Motor Vehicle Collision Survivors

Project CRASH was a cohort study examining genotypic and phenotypic characteristics associated with the recovery process after motor vehicle collision. Patients experiencing motor vehicle collision were enrolled in the study at emergency department study sites in Alabama, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, and Washington DC. Study participants completed a baseline assessment in the ED, as well as a follow-up interview, 6-week interview, 6-month, and 1-year, following the motor vehicle collision. This study was funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (R01AR056328). Dr. McLean is PI of this study.
