Introduction

This part of the Web site introduces you to the Rehabilitation Research and Training Center on TBI Interventions. The Center (also referred to as the RRTC) has three areas of activity:

1. A research program
   • Research Project 1 (R1) is a randomized clinical trial to evaluate an intervention aimed at improving mood in people with TBI.
   • Research Project 2 (R2) is a randomized clinical trial of a treatment program for people with TBI to improve their thinking abilities, with a focus on executive functioning.
   • Research Project 3 (R3) will analyze the content and quality of recently published post-TBI intervention studies. The results will provide a basis for supporting improved (i.e., evidence-based) practice amongst health professionals in the community who treat individuals with TBI.
   • Research Project 4 (R4) will finalize the development of a new measure of rehabilitation outcome that incorporates both objective and subjective perspectives on participation in home and community activities.
2. A capacity building program to better educate rehabilitation professionals in identifying, assessing, and providing appropriate interventions, treatments, and accommodations for people with TBI.
3. A comprehensive plan for knowledge translation to achieve intended outcomes amongst professionals and consumers. Knowledge translation is accomplished through a variety of dissemination methods: workshops, conferences, publications, Web site resources, presentations, technical assistance, actions to effect policy changes and the like.
