In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Every year, many Canadians sustain a fracture that requires surgical treatment and results in a long recovery period. During this recovery period, patients may experience new or worsening mental health issues including depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, patients may experience new or worsening social and financial problems, such as food and housing insecurity, due to being unable to work or take care of other daily responsibilities. Current care for fracture patients is focused on treating their physical injuries and overlooks these other challenges. To address this gap in care, the investigators propose having a social worker available in the fracture clinic to provide patients with support beyond the care of their physical injury. The investigators propose a trial of 2,000 patients to determine if social worker support improves recovery for patients
