The problem
Intervention: Screening and identification of post-concussive symptoms in young children with TBI to understand association with follow-up care-seeking behavior
Who it was tested with: 36 families of children ages 2-5 years with confirmed TBI in the past 3-6 months, racially and ethnically diverse.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Parents reported demographic and injury characteristics, PCS, and whether they sought follow-up care after their child's emergency department visit. Regression analyses examined associations between PCS and follow-up care." The study identifies an association between specific symptoms and follow-up care seeking but does not evaluate whether an intervention improves outcomes for children with TBI.
Small sample size (n=36) and lack of comparison group; cross-sectional design cannot establish causality; does not assess whether follow-up care actually improved outcomes; cannot identify specific barriers to follow-up care
