Summary

After being admitted to and then discharged from a hospital in Cameroon for having experienced an injury, there is no established way for the health system to check in on how the discharged person is doing. The investigators have developed a set of questions with the hope that asking these questions--over the phone--to those who have been discharged from the hospital will allow them to determine which post-discharge patients would benefit from further care. The investigators believe that asking these questions over the phone is a good way of determining which post-discharge trauma patients would benefit from further care.

Mobile Phone-based Triage Tool

The proposed intervention is a mobile phone-administered survey. Participants that have been admitted to participating hospitals for treatment of injury will be contacted by mobile phone approximately two weeks after discharge. A seven-question survey will be administered over the phone to each participant. Cross-validation with a separately administered in-person physical exam will be performed to assess the survey tool's prediction of who needs further care for treatment of their injury.
