Mental health service use after minor to moderate motor vehicle crash injury: A systematic review

Mental health symptoms are commonly experienced after sustaining an injury in a motor vehicle crash (MVC). Around 80% of MVCs are classified as minor to moderate (e.g., whiplash, sprains, strains), yet around half experience mental health impairments one-year post-injury. The prevalence, frequency, and determinants of mental health service use after these injuries are unclear.
