Description
This poster reports results from a study examining social outcomes and processes for adolescents with traumatic brain injury (TBI) living in rural areas. Mixed qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Interviews with adolescents and their parents focused on environmental and personal factors that facilitated or impeded social interaction and social adjustment before and after the injury. Results are discussed in terms of implications for assessment, monitoring, and intervention.Back to Session: Poster Session: Behavior Supports & Mental Health
