Improving Health Outcomes With Resource Facilitation
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Traumatic Brain Injury, Rehabilitation, Intervention
In brief
The purpose of this research is to test a service the investigators of the study believe may increase quality of life after brain injury and reduce the level of disability that might be associated with that injury. This intervention is called "Resource Facilitation" and involves working one on one with a brain injury specialist. This specialist is called a "Resource Facilitator" and will work with participants to help set and achieve their own goals along with a team of professionals that specialize in this kind of injury. If randomly assigned to the Resource Facilitation group, participants will receive Resource Facilitation free of charge. If not, they will be assigned to a control group and will not receive the intervention. However, both groups will receive calls every three months. During these calls, a research assistant will collect data about each participant's recovery and progress. If assigned to the Resource Facilitation group, participants may also receive study information in the mail if research assistants are unable to reach participants via telephone.
