In this first season 3 episode of "Injury is Not Equal," we explore the critical intersection between injury recidivism and mental health. Research has found that one of the greatest predictors of unintentional injury recidivism is Mental illness. One study that analyzed injury recidivism following orthopedic trauma, found that mental illness was present in 57% of recidivists (Heimke et al., 2023).
In this episode, host Shaelyn Fitzpatrick is joined by guest speaker Dr. Stephanie Mason to discuss the connection between mental health and injury recidivism.
