Implementation of an Evidence-Based Educational Resource for Children with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury - Our project goal is to improve the health and function of children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) by employing a systematic approach to support the development, use, adoption, and implementation of a Post-mTBI Educational Resource at Baylor Scott & White (BSW) clinical sites that treat children with mTBI. mTBI accounts for 70-90% of all TBI-related emergency department visits. After mTBI, children experience a variety of symptoms and impairments that can negatively impact their academic performance and sport and recreation participation. The objectives of our development project are to partner with an Advisory Board, that includes children with mTBI lived experience, their parents, and professional engagement partners to (1) identify essential mTBI-information from existing evidence-based materials to develop a Post-mTBI Educational Resource for children with mTBI and their parents and (2) implement our Post-mTBI Educational Resource to determine feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness at BSW clinical sites that treat children with mTBI. Anticipated outcomes include (1) an engaged AB to support project goals, (2) identification of determinants and solutions to resource delivery at BSW clinical sites, (3) BSW clinicians and clinic administrators trained on the use of the Post-mTBI Educational Resource, and (4) a comprehensive approach to evaluate implementation. Expected products include (1) Post-mTBI Educational Resource, (2) a toolkit to support implementation of our resource at BSW clinical sites, (3) website for users to access Post-mTBI Educational Resource, and (4) implementation and evaluation plans to use when translating evidence-based resources into clinical practice. Critically, our implementation science approach ensures sustainability of the Post-mTBI Educational Resource to be scaled to other healthcare settings.
