EATS (Experience After Trauma Studies)

This qualitative study investigates health care service utilization, pain medication use and treatment outcome after hospital discharge among survivors after accidental trauma. The objectives are to obtain a better understanding of the risk factors that predict poor long-term outcome in patients treated for accidental trauma, including low QoL, severe pain, and harmful use of opioids.
