Abstract
The incidence of treated mental health and persistent pain conditions was low, but the total healthcare costs for people with treated conditions were markedly higher than for people without either treated condition. While linkage with other public records of treatment was not possible, the true incidence of treated conditions is likely to be even higher than that found in this study. The present findings can be used to prioritise the implementation of timely access to treatment to prevent or attenuate the severity of pain and mental health conditions after transport injury.
