Evidence Based Treatments

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is prevalent among veterans and military personnel. These individuals present with increased rates of co-morbid mental health conditions and are at increased risk for suicide. Evidence-based treatments are needed to serve this population. A systematic review was conducted in order to determine the state of the science with respect to interventions aimed at improving mental health outcomes among veterans and military personnel. Results indicate that only three published articles exist that met inclusion criteria for this systematic review. All three study designs were observational in nature. Significant risk of bias was noted. The body of evidence was rated according to the GRADE approach. Although the published work marks an important starting point in evaluating evidence-based treatments for veterans and military personnel with TBI, the overall quality of evidence was determined to be very low. Implications for both future research and current practice are discussed.

Needs Assessment Survey

Abstract Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability and death in the U.S., and survivors often experience temporary or life-long health effects as a result of their injury. While risks and outcomes of fall-related TBI in older adults have been well-documented, the intersection of TBI-related health challenges and the experience of aging with a TBI is less well understood. This project explores gender differences in health outcomes among TBI survivors. A Needs Assessment survey was conducted in early 2020 with adult TBI survivors in Missouri (n=150). The mean age of respondents was 46 and 58% identified as male. Bivariate analyses reveal gender differences in health conditions among TBI survivors before and after injury. Significantly more males than females reported substance use disorder for alcohol (20.7% and 7.9%, p < .05) prior to injury, whereas twice as many females reported developing chronic pain after injury than males (68.3% and 31.0%, p < .001). Further, while about 21% of both male and female respondents reported experiencing other mental health conditions, such as anxiety, prior to injury, over 35% of males and almost 58% of females experienced mental health concerns after injury. Additionally, balance/mobility issues, sleep disorders, sensory issues, and cognitive challenges were frequently identified post-injury conditions. Co-morbidities impact our experiences, capabilities, and quality of life as we age. Policies and programs to support TBI survivors and their families may better address the co-occurring health conditions among TBI survivors by considering gender differences in the experience of aging with a TBI.
