Summary
This study tests whether community health workers can help caregivers of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) during the move from rehab to home. About 126 adult caregivers will get either standard support or extra help from a health worker starting before discharge. The goal is to see if caregivers feel more prepared and less stressed.
