Abstract:

A literature review was undertaken to identify what indicators (if any) could be used to measure the social consequences of injuries. The objectives of the search were (1) to find out what different aspects of social life can be affected by injuries, (2) to learn what are the mechanism and risk factors leading to these effects, (3) to gather information on how much those aspects are affected, and (4) to identify the existing measurement tools to quantify these indicators. Over 100 references were found using MEDLINE and cross references from papers on the topic. Three different types of references were found: (1) precise descriptions of different aspects of social life that get disrupted by an injury, (2) identification and quantification of the mechanisms that lead to the social consequences, and (3) measurement of more generic concepts such as quality of life, quality of well-being or the limitation in performing common activities. The report includes a discussion of the main findings, abstracts of the papers, and some paper-specific comments.
