Despite poor outcomes for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), there are no U.S. standards for TBI transitional care for patients discharged home from acute hospital care. To enhance the standard of care, we will examine the efficacy of our existing intervention named BETTER (Brain Injury, Education, Training, and Therapy to Enhance Recovery), a patient- and family-centered TBI transitional care intervention, compared to usual care, among adults with TBI and families. The knowledge generated will drive improvements in outcomes for adults with TBI and families, resulting in improved health of the public.
