Abstract

The literature on the sequelae of road accidents is limited but generally focuses on psychiatric diagnoses. Reported here are the results of a survey that assessed the degree of physical, social and occupational effects, counselling received, and perceptions of treatment of road accident victims, up to two years after the accident. There was a poor response rate and some methodological weaknesses, but results showed that there were marked effects in these aspects of people's lives and that few had received counselling or follow-up.
