Summary
This trial will study the effectiveness of a new TBI intervention vs. usual medical care plus online resources. Two groups will be compared with follow-up assessments.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for caregivers over 18 with a child aged 3 months to 18 years who's been hospitalized due to mild to severe TBI, including brain swelling or bleeding. The child must have stayed overnight in the hospital and be within 0-3 months post-discharge. Excluded are non-English speaking households, cases of non-blunt trauma like gunshot wounds, or if the child won't stay with the caregiver during the study.
What is being tested?
The 'Road-to-Recovery' (R2R-TBI) intervention is being tested against usual medical care plus internet resources on pediatric brain injury. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups and evaluated at baseline, one month after randomization, and six months later.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an educational intervention rather than a drug treatment, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from participating in such programs that should be monitored.
