How Well Do Teens Cope Following Major Trauma?
|
|
Like most qualitative reports, this study cohort was small. However, as a group, the adolescents interviewed were mostly faring well following return to daily life after sustaining moderate to severe injuries. Involvement in both school and social activities, as well as strong social relationships, proved to be important factors for successful rehabilitation.
