What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating two web-based intervention programs designed to improve well-being and self-concept in adults who have experienced moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study focuses on the Signature Strengths program, which aims to help participants recognize and use their personal strengths to enhance coping and maintain improved outcomes over time. The trial compares this approach with a TBI Education Course based on established knowledge from the TBI Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups: the Signature Strengths intervention or the TBI Education Course. Each group completes six weekly web-based sessions lasting about 60 minutes each. The Signature Strengths program follows an Aware-Explore-Apply framework to teach participants how to identify and apply their key strengths in daily life. The TBI Education Course offers factual lessons about TBI and its management. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed using various self-report tools including the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Strengths Knowledge and Strengths Use Scale, the Head Injury Semantic Differential Scale, the Global Assessment of Character Strengths, and the Twenty-Statements Task. These assessments occur at baseline, three months after the intervention, and six months after the intervention to measure changes in well-being, self-concept, and related outcomes. The total duration of participation includes these follow-up periods to monitor lasting effects.
