Summary View help for Summary
Children and youth, aged 8 - 18 years, were invited to participate in this study after being treated in an emergency department (ED) for an injury resulting from interpersonal community violence. Each invited youth also had to have been living within specified postal codes (urban areas surrounding the hospital). Following the youth's baseline assessment (T1), participants completed between 0 and 4 follow-up assessments. The timing of each follow-up assessment was scheduled according to the relative time since the index (violent injury) event occurred. The average follow-up assessment was conducted at 27 days (T3), 75 days (T5), 199 days (T7), and 467 days (T10).

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The objectives of this study were to:
- assess the feasibility of evaluating acute stress symptoms in the emergency department,
- provide an initial estimate of the prevalence, severity, and variability of acute stress symptoms, and
- determine whether these symptoms persist over time and whether initial severity is predictive of continued posttraumatic stress weeks to months later.
