Mobilizing Early Management of Mental Health Complications After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Canada537 participantsStarted 2021-02-01

Plain-language summary

Mental health problems frequently complicate recovery from mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) but are under-recognized and under-treated. Our research program aims to identify evidence-based strategies for closing this knowledge-practice gap. Building on a successful pilot trial, the reseachers will evaluate the effectiveness of a clinical practice guideline implementation tool designed to support proactive management of mental health complications after mTBI in primary care.
