Read our Post-traumatic Stress Disorder research guide →After a traumatic event, doctors use a tool called the Clinical Global Impression Scale to quickly assess how someone is doing emotionally and psychologically. This study is testing whether this simple tool can reliably predict which people will develop long-term trauma symptoms in the weeks and months after a crisis.
Most people recover naturally after a traumatic event, but about 8 out of 100 people develop long-term post-traumatic stress disorder with symptoms like nightmares, avoidance, and emotional numbness. This trial exists to see if an easy-to-use assessment tool can spot early warning signs, allowing doctors to offer specialized help to those who need it most before serious problems develop.

You would receive immediate medical and psychological support as part of routine trauma care. As part of the study, doctors would use a brief assessment tool to evaluate your emotional and psychological state. You would also receive a phone call within days or weeks after your initial visit so doctors can check in on how you are recovering and identify whether you might need specialized trauma counseling.
