Efficacy and Acceptability of a Home-Based, Family-Inclusive Intervention for Veterans With TBI: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Type
Summary

Traumatic brain injury can result in long-term physical, emotional, and interpersonal difficulties and has become a topic of increasing concern for Service members. An in-home treatment program that focused on environmental changes and included families was compared to usual care for Veterans with traumatic brain injuries. The program was highly acceptable to Veterans and resulted in greater improvements in community reintegration and symptom difficulties compared to usual care.
