Attempting to return to everyday life after a burn injury can be difficult, stressful, and emotionally challenging. While traditional rehabilitation strategies for burn survivors focus on physical recovery, the Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) focuses on the impact burn injuries have on social life.

The LIBRE Journey Project will test the LIBRE Profile, a computer-based questionnaire. This tool can then be used by burn survivors and clinicians to track an individual’s burn recovery, improve rehabilitation efforts, and identify areas where additional support is needed.
