Children presenting to the University of Iowa Health Care System (UIHC), Blank Children's Hospital (Blank), Children's Hospital of Minneapolis, and Kansas City Mercy Children's Hospital with an injury resulting in admission will be the sample population. A child will be included if they are 10-17 years old with an unintentional injury. Consenting children and their parents will be asked to complete a series of four questionnaires: before hospital discharge, at 1-month post discharge, 3-months and 6-months post discharge. The parent-child dyads will be randomized (1:1) to receive 1) training in Link for Injured Kids or 2) Trauma Education. The survey completed in the hospital will be a paper survey or online via an iPad, and follow-up surveys can be completed on paper or online.
Aim #1: Assess the feasibility of Link for Injured Kids through qualitative research with parents and providers of previously injured children from UI Children's Hospital.
Aim #2: Through a randomized trial, determine the range of potential psychosocial and behavioral health indicators possibly impacted by Link for Injured Kids. This will identify the types of outcomes which could include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, nonspecific distress, quality of life, absenteeism, school performance, coping skills, communication skills, and access to mental health.

For the trauma education group, a score of 0 was assigned if the subject never read the provided materials, a score of 1 was assigned if participants read but did not use the provided materials, and a score of 2 was assigned if the participant read and used the material at least once. For the link group, a score of 0 was assigned if the subject did not use any of the skills associated with the intervention, a score of 1 was assigned if at least one but not all three skills were used, and a score of 2 was assigned if all skills were used.
