Traumatic Brain Injury Study
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) has become a major concern for service members and their families. A large number of troops engaged in active combat in Iraq or Afghanistan will experience mild, moderate, or severe TBI due to head injuries or exposure to explosive blast waves. TBI can cause cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and physical problems, and can be very stressful for military members and their families. This study will assess and describe patient and family educational needs for information on TBI.
Discussion Groups
The RAND Corporation is conducting small discussion groups this fall with:
- military members and veterans who were diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury and received treatment for it within the past two years; and
- spouses or family members of military members or veterans who were diagnosed with TBI and received treatment for it within the past two years.
The goal of the discussion groups is to learn about the experiences of military members, veterans, and their families getting help for TBI so that care for military members and veterans with TBI can be improved. Discussion groups will last about two hours. Each spouse or family member participant will be paid $25 for his or her time. Refreshments will be provided for all groups.
If you are interested, please send an email to RANDTBI@rand.org or call RAND at (800) 419-9566 to find out if you can attend one of the groups.
