This prospective cohort study extension aims to improve disability, health, and wellbeing outcomes for injured New Zealanders, including for Maori.¯ We will identify predictors and modifiable risk factors of long-term outcomes (positive and negative), and develop an Injury Early Care Tool (INJECT) to inform the implementation of effective interventions to improve outcomes. In the Prospective Outcomes of Injury Study (POIS), 2856 people participated following an injury (occurring between 2007 and 2009) registered with New Zealand’s no-fault accident compensation scheme (ACC). POIS-10 will invite 2121 people (including 358 Maori)¯ who completed a 24-month POIS interview and agreed to follow-up, anticipating 75% participation Citation: Derrett, S.; Wyeth, E.H.; (n = 1591).
