Summary

This trial aims to help people with brain injuries who are being released from prison by providing a special program that supports their unique needs. The goal is to reduce their chances of going back to prison and committing violent crimes by offering tailored services that help them manage their behavior and integrate into the community.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a history of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are currently serving sentences at PCF in Greencastle, Indiana and have 5 to 8 months left in their sentence. It's not for those in solitary confinement or unable to understand the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if the Reentry Continuum for Brain Injury (RCBI) program can reduce re-incarceration and violent offenses among TBI patients post-release. Participants will be randomly assigned to RCBI or typical aftercare and tracked for three years.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves social support services rather than medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience varying psychological impacts from involvement in the program.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) include multidisciplinary rehabilitation, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and community-based support services. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation involves a team of healthcare professionals who address the physical, cognitive, and emotional aspects of TBI, promoting overall recovery and functional independence. CBT helps patients modify negative thought patterns and behaviors, improving coping strategies and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Community-based support services provide tailored assistance to help individuals reintegrate into society, addressing unique needs such as vocational training, social skills development, and mental health support. These treatments are crucial for TBI patients as they facilitate comprehensive recovery, enhance quality of life, and reduce the risk of recidivism by addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals with TBI.
