Summary
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) creates challenges for both patients and their family members, yet few intervention programs have taken the needs of the whole family into consideration. This study examined the effectiveness of the Veterans' In-home Program on family member's well-being. Findings suggested that compared to traditional care programs, Veterans' In-home Program was better at increasing family members' well-being.
