- Abstract
Motor vehicles accidents (MVA) are one of the leading causes of injuries for children. The consequences of a MVA include physical injuries, such as broken bones or a traumatic brain injury as well as emotional injury, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Between 10% and 35% of children ages 2-18 years meet criteria for PTSD following a MVA, with adolescents being at higher risk for the development of PTSD. This review will focus on assessment, early intervention, and treatment of PTSD following a MVA in children and adolescents.
