Pediatric Trauma Research
Hasbro Children’s Hospital’s Pediatric Trauma Program is committed to trauma research, as we strive to improve prevention efforts and treatment into the future.
Our current research includes Nicole Nugent, PhD, who is investigating effective outreach and interaction methods family and friends can take in helping children after experiencing an injury or something traumatic. Nugent will look at the effectiveness of face-to-face contact, texting and social media.
