An Online Intervention for Families of Young Children With TBI: I-InTERACT
The purpose of this study is to test an on-line intervention for families of young children
who have experienced moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Previous interventions
were not designed to address the needs of young children with TBI, and feedback revealed a
desire for more examples and materials appropriate for families of younger children. This
project builds upon the investigators previous research by modifying the online intervention
content to address the needs of young children with TBI. The goal of this project is to
develop an intervention that will encourage positive parenting behaviors, improve child
behaviors, and reduce parent distress and burden following TBI. The investigators
hypothesize that the intervention group will exhibit more effective parenting skills as well
as better child functioning and lower levels of parental distress at follow-up than will the
active comparison group.
Five million young children suffer from traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year resulting in
new child behavior problems, parental distress, and family dysfunction. Recent studies
provide evidence that online skill building interventions can reduce caregiver distress and
improve child adjustment following TBI. The investigators hypothesize that the I-InTERACT
group will exhibit more effective parenting skills as well as better child functioning and
lower levels of parental distress at follow-up than will the IRC group. The investigators
overarching goal is to reduce the risk of long-term behavioral problems and disability in
young children following TBI by equipping parents with increased coping and parenting skills
in a cost effective fashion. Findings will be disseminated via presentations and
peer-reviewed publications, a website and newsletter, workshops with advocacy groups, and
technical assistance to interested parties
