Rehabilitation Research and Training Center for Traumatic Brain Injury Interventions--Internet-based Interacting Together Everyday, Recovery After Childhood TBI
The purpose of this study is to test two on-line interventions for families of young
children who have experienced moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). 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 groups 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.

The investigators will conduct a multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the
efficacy of 7-week Internet-based Interacting Together Everyday, Recovery after Childhood
Traumatic Brain Injury Express (I-InTERACT Express) and 24-week long web-based positive
parenting skills programs Internet-based Interacting Together Everyday, Recovery after
Childhood Traumatic Brain Injury (I-InTERACT) to an internet resource group (IRC) involving
access to internet resources and education about brain injury. The project builds upon the
feasibility and efficacy findings from an ongoing randomized trial comparing the efficacy of
a 24-week positive parenting skills program to access to internet resources. However, it
differs in size and scope by including multiple sites, and by including an abbreviated
parenting skills training arm in response to family feedback that the existing 24-week
intervention was excessively long, resulting in adherence difficulties. The investigators
anticipate that the improvements in parenting skills and psychological functioning will
translate into improved parent-child relationships and reductions in child behavior
problems. Over time, such improvements in child and parent functioning should contribute to
academic and social success and more successful community integration.
