Clinical Trial Summary

SMART is an interactive web-based program that will allow youth with mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) to monitor their symptoms and receive education on problem-solving and coping strategies. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of SMART as a means of improving symptom-management, coping skills, and general well-being during recovery from mTBI. Half of participants will receive the SMART intervention, while half will receive usual care.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in quality of life, as measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) The PedsQL includes 23 items measuring physical, emotional, social, and school functioning. From baseline to 4 weeks post-injury
Secondary Change in coping strategies, as measured by the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI-S: Short Form) The CSI-S is a coping styles measure and has been used with other pediatric TBI samples. Adolescents rate how much they agree with 32-statements regarding different ways of coping with difficult situations on a 5-point Likert scale. Responses are then grouped into primary subscales reflecting eight different coping strategies (e.g., problem-solving, problem avoidance, social withdrawal, etc.). From baseline to 4 weeks post-injury
Secondary Change in self-efficacy for symptom management, as measured by the Self-Efficacy Scale (S-eS) This 2-item measure will be developed by the research team based on Bandura's self-efficacy theory. Adolescents will rate their level of confidence that they are able to maintain a plan to manage their symptoms each week From baseline to 4 weeks post-injury
Secondary Change in general functioning, as measured by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) PROMIS collects data from the adolescent participant and the parent about the impact a condition has on the adolescent's functioning. From baseline to 4 weeks post-injury
Secondary Change in health and behavioral symptoms, as measured by the Health and Behavior Inventory (HBI) The HBI is a 20-item questionnaire which includes a variety of cognitive, somatic, emotional, and behavioral symptoms requiring parents and adolescents to rate the frequency of occurrence of each symptom over the past week on a 4-point scale, ranging from "never" to "often." From baseline to 4 weeks post-injury
