Road safety is the main problem in developing countries. Every year, millions of people die in road traffic accidents, resulting in huge losses of humankind and the economy. This study focuses on the road traffic accident analysis and identification of black spots on the Lahore-Islamabad Highway M-2. Official data of road traffic accidents were collected from National Highway and Highway Police (NH & MP) Pakistan. The data was digitized on MS Excel and Origin Pro. The accident Point weightage (APW) method was employed to identify the black spots and rank of the top ten black spots. The analysis shows that the trend of road traffic accidents on M-2 was characterized by a high rate of fatal accidents of 35.3%. Human errors account for 66.8% as the major contributing factors in road traffic accidents, while vehicle errors (25.6%) and environmental factors (7.6%) were secondary and tertiary contributing factors. The main causes of road traffic accidents were the dozing on the wheel (27.9%), the careless driving (24.6%), tyre burst (11.7%), and the brakes failure (7.4%). Kallar Kahar (Salt Range) was identified as a black spot (223 km, 224 km, 225 km, 229 km, and 234 km) due to vehicle brake failure. The human error was a major contributory factor in road traffic accidents, therefore public awareness campaign on road safety is inevitable and use of the dozen alarm to overcome dozing on the wheel. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091629 Full Text: PDF

Abstract The main current intervention for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adult primary care is individual trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT). Group TF-CBT for PTSD has been advocated in order to improve access and cost. Barriers to the development of group TF-CBT include the need for a large number of sessions and therapist input in order to manage high levels of affect, possible dissociation and secondary traumatisation. This case study was prompted via our community engagement project when local women who had been involved in a single road traffic accident requested group therapy. The aim was to develop a NICE guideline-compliant brief 8-session group TF-CBT intervention that circumvented the above-mentioned barriers and is described in detail. In order to improve access, the group was delivered in the community. Standard and PTSD-specific measures were administered pre-therapy and post-therapy. Eight clients were offered treatment: two dropped out and six completed treatment. At the end of treatment, 3/6 clients attained reliable improvement in their PTSD symptoms. Two of these three clients also reached recovery. This change was maintained at 3-month follow-up where 4/6 clients attained reliable improvement, with three maintaining recovery. The remaining two clients showed minimal change in their PTSD symptoms. Overall, clients reported high-level satisfaction with the treatment protocol. This case study demonstrates a potentially clinically effective and cost-effective group TF-CBT intervention for non-complex single-incident PTSD. Key learning aims It is hoped that the reader of this case study will increase their understanding of the following: (1) Use of a brief group TF-CBT protocol to treat homogeneous single incident trauma in adults. (2) Adaptations to overcome barriers to group TF-CBT in adults. (3) Implementation of individualised reliving based on written-narrative rather than spoken-narrative. (4) Focus on the processes of PTSD, whilst using content as a theme to contextualise the symptoms. (5) Emphasis on the use of homework in order to enhance group affect-modulation and individual learning.
