No statistically significant differences were found when comparing mild versus moderate-to-severe injury severity for these responses. The analyses between mild and moderate-to-severe cases were conducted using five categories for mood (not at all, a little bit, moderately, quite a bit, and extremely), and three categories for quality of life (strongly to slightly disagree, neither agree nor disagree, strongly to slightly agree).
