Brief summary

This is a study of factors, such as pain, family support, psychological history and alcohol/substance use, that may influence whether a person experiences depression after their spinal cord injury.

Detailed description

The objective of this study is to examine the degree to which vulnerability factors are mediated by stress to increase risk for depression after SCI in a sample of adults who sustained their injuries after the age of 18 years. Participants will complete a written survey (about pain, daily activities, social support and life experiences) and a telephone interview that will provide information about these factors.
