Tachikawa Cohort of the Motor Vehicle Accident Study (TCOM)
Between May 2004 and January 2008, patients with accidental injuries consecutively admitted to hospital were recruited for the TCOM Study. Psychiatric morbidity as a primary endpoint was measured using a structured clinical interview at 1, 6, 18, and 36 months after involvement in a motor vehicle accident (MVA). A total of 300 patients with MVA-related injuries were enrolled. All participants were aged between 18 and 69 years and possessed native Japanese-speaking ability.
