The Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (RRTC) on Community Integration of Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury at TIRR

R7: Understanding Factors that Contribute to Decreased Social Integration for Persons with TBI

Project Update

Active Recruitment:

The first few months of the project were devoted to setting up the research database, hiring and training of the Research Associate, Monique Mills, B.S., and translation of some instruments into Spanish. This included producing a Spanish version of video vignettes used for assessing social problem solving abilities.

In addition, the project was submitted to the Institutional Review Board and received approval. Recruitment began in year one, and is ongoing. The project is proceeding and participant recruitment has been on-target. We are looking forward to learning more about the impact of these personal and environmental factors on social integration and emotional outcomes for persons with brain injury.
