| Impact of urban vs. rural residence on outcome after TBI | ||
| Abstract: We predict that rural residents will be found to have poorer rehabilitation outcomes than urban residents. We predict that this difference will be partially predicted by time from injury to presentation to Model System emergency room, initial severity of injury, and early neurosurgical management. We also expect that the longer distances to obtain follow-up services, more missed appointments, and lower socioeconomic status will make additional contributions to predicting differences in rehabilitation outcome for rural vs. urban residents. These findings will have implications for development of new models of service provision for rural residents... more | ||

| Community integration and life satisfaction in TBI from violent etiologies | ||
| Abstract: Violence is the second leading cause of injury for patients treated in the TBIMS. This study will examine the community integration of individuals who sustain gunshot wounds (GSWs), assaults, and high velocity injuries in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). It will also compare satisfaction with life for individuals with violence-related TBIs with those of other etiologies... more | ||

| Length of stay in inpatient rehabilitation: does it make a difference in outcome | ||
| Abstract: The objective is to investigate whether the length of TBI inpatient rehabilitation stay has an impact on functional outcomes at discharge from rehabilitation and one year post-injury in comparable groups. This comparison is relevant because the managed care environment has brought about shorter inpatient rehabilitation stays determined by reimbursement rather than level of disability... more | ||

| Ethnicity and Employment Outcome after TBI | ||
| Abstract: Previous investigations have shown that minority persons have poorer employment outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The present investigation seeks to investigate associated factors that contribute to these poorer outcomes. Based on prior research, we expect that the poorer outcomes for minority persons will be largely medicated by education level, pre-injury employment status, cause of injury, and other factors... more | ||

| Premorbid psychosocial status and functional measures at inpatient rehabilitation admission as predictors of functional outcome, community integration, psychosocial status and satisfaction with life | ||
| Abstract: The objective of this study is to better characterize the predictive abilities of premorbid factors, the DRS, and the FIM at inpatient rehabilitation admission with regard to status on various domains at discharge and at one year post-injury. It would significantly assist the clinician/case manager to know the predictive abilities of these scales, which are often the only ones available at inpatient admission, in order to better assess likely outcome in the short- and long-term... more | ||
