Summary

This study tests whether a brief form of exposure therapy, given soon after a serious injury, can prevent posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Researchers will enroll 300 adults admitted to Level I trauma centers. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the brief therapy or usual care, and then be followed to see if they develop PTSD symptoms.
