abstract="OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article was to evaluate the effectiveness of an information provision web-based early intervention via a randomized controlled trial for children and their parents following pediatric unintentional injury. METHOD: Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention (n = 29) or a control group (n = 27) following baseline measurements. Further assessment was taken at 4-6 weeks and 6 months post-trauma event. RESULTS: Analyses revealed that children within the intervention group reported improved anxiety, in comparison to a worsening of symptoms for children in the control group. Furthermore, children who had higher baseline trauma scores reported the intervention to be helpful. CONCLUSIONS: The intervention showed promising results in its ability to aid child recovery.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
