abstract="OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of experiencing a road crash on aspects of psychological meaning. DESIGN: A 12-month repeated measures prospective design was used. Setting: Data were collected from admissions to a hospital in central Victoria. SUBJECTS: Seventy-two injured road crash victims took part in the study. Main outcome measures: Three measures of psychological trauma and the World Assumptions Scale. RESULTS: World Assumptions Scale scores did not change significantly over the year, despite improvements in other trauma scores.
