Brief Intervention for Substance Misuse Following Moderate or Severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study is investigating one way to improve health and healthy habits after traumatic
brain injury (TBI). The primary goal of this study is to determine if a brief intervention
accommodated for persons with moderate or severe TBI is effective in reducing alcohol misuse
during the year following injury. It is hypothesized that an adapted Screening, Education and
Brief Intervention (adapted SBI) will reduce the number of alcoholic drinks consumed per week
over the year following discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, in comparison to a Screening
and Education Attention Control condition (SEA control).
