Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Family dynamics and caregiver responses to a child with traumatic brain injury are implicated both as precipitating events as well as factors influencing outcomes of abusive head trauma (AHT). However, no family behavioral health intervention exists to meet the unique needs of families with infants and very young children with AHT. The study was initially designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the efficacy of an evidence-based behavioral intervention to improve outcomes for families and children with AHT. However, rates of recruitment were so low that the investigators and funder amended the study to be intervention only (with IRB approval). At that time, there were five participants and only one had been assigned to the intervention arm. Only one additional family was recruited, and that family did not complete study measures prior to the time at which the intervention would start and did not receive the intervention. The investigators did examine outcomes in multiple dimensions, including clinical, cognitive, family, caregiver, child behavior, and service usage over time but connot compare to patients not receiving the intervention. The investigators were not able to examine characteristics of patients and families best suited for this behavioral health intervention.
