A novel approach to study the health consequences of road crashes

Conclusions The methodology described in this paper provides information about the full spectrum of road crashes and enables novel analyses of unexplored research questions. Based on the data collected so far and the example analysis presented in the paper, recommendations have been made about future data collection. The proposed data collection methodology enables characterisation of crash factors that are associated with long-term health consequences. The ability to timely identify those at risk provides important opportunities for early intervention to reduce long-term health outcomes also from low severity crashes.
