Study population: Persons having suffered a burn injury and treated at participating study sites that are between the ages of 19-30 years of age and speak English.

Brief summary: As part of Clinical Trials.Gov ID:NCT00253292 a psychometrically sound outcomes instrument was developed to study the outcomes of burn survivors in the 19-30 year old age group. This workgroup has come together to re-examine the data collected during the previous study and determine next steps in understanding the recovery for this population.

Detailed description: This study looks to understand previously collected outcomes scores. Identifying young adult burned patients at risk for poor outcomes remains an under-published field of study. We strive to identify problem areas for this population before they adversely effect their quality of life. How are these 19-30 year olds different from their non-burned counterparts and what interventions can we provide to equalize the balance?

All burn injured young adults with or without skin grafting. All burned young adults on or after their 18th birthday. Between the ages of 19-30 years. English speaking Present for inpatient or outpatient treatment. -
