Setting Families on a Positive Path to Recovery After Pediatric TBI: Road-to-Recovery

Setting Families on a Positive Path to Recovery After Pediatric TBI: Road-to-Recovery, A Randomized Control Trial

About This Trial

This study has two main goals: 1) to refine and enhance the R2R-TBI intervention; and 2) to examine the efficacy of the R2R-TBI intervention in a randomized control trial. To achieve the second goal, we will employ a between-groups randomized treatment design with repeated measures at baseline, one-month post-randomization, and at a six-month follow-up. The two conditions will be: a) usual medical care plus access to internet resources regarding pediatric brain injury (Internet Resources Comparison group, IRC), and b) usual medical care plus the R2R-TBI intervention (Road-to-Recovery group, R2R-TBI).
