Clinical Trial Summary

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).


Clinical Trial Description

The early recovery period constitutes a critical window to set families on a positive road-to-recovery by supporting parental self-care, positive parent-child interactions, and awareness of potential longer-term concerns. The latter would facilitate parental recognition of behavioral and psychosocial needs that might otherwise go unmet. Recognizing that (1) caregivers of children who have sustained TBI are at risk of worsening psychological health and that (2) caregiver functioning and parenting behaviors have a direct impact on child recovery and outcomes; intervening and supporting caregivers in the acute phase following injury may set children and families on a positive path to recovery. Intervening at the acute phase may reduce the cascading effects of parental burden/distress and concomitant negative parent-child interactions on child recovery and functioning over time. Because families of children with TBI and other chronic health conditions may have difficulty accessing services due to transportation and cost issues, particularly lower income families, the R2R-TBI program is designed to be accessed via any web-enabled device (e.g., smartphone, computer, tablet) with any form of internet connection. We will also offer the intervention (via tablet) to parents while they wait for their child to complete outpatient therapies (e.g., speech, physical, and occupational therapy). Delivery of web-based behavioral health interventions may reduce barriers to help-seeking and promote evidence-based interventions that are both accessible and efficient. ;
