The 12-month study will investigate a cognitive training augmentation of supported
employment to improve cognitive performance and work outcomes, which are expected to result
in improved quality of life and community integration for veterans with mild to moderate
traumatic brain injuries. The primary hypothesis is that compared to veterans who receive
enhanced supported employment, those who receive supported employment plus cognitive
training will work more weeks during the 12 months.
