We examined the respective contributions of depression, anxiety, and post-trauma symptoms, as these factors reduce quality of life (QOL) in 111 individuals who had experienced a serious motor vehicle accident.

Results indicated that post trauma symptomatology has a negative effect on QOL, which is mediated by depression and anxiety.
