Summary

The goal of this double-masked, randomized control trial is to learn about the potential benefits of two different strategies at helping people with traumatic brain injury who see a brain injury physician be more engaged in their healthcare and feel more confident in managing their health.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* When comparing the two strategies, which will result in high participant-reported health empowerment assessed approximately 7 - 21 days of completing the approach?
* When comparing the two strategies, which will result in high participant-reported health engagement assessed approximately 7 - 21 days of completing the approach?

Participants will:

* complete baseline assessments about their health, daily activities, and their attitudes about healthcare and their treatment. These will be done over the phone and/or online survey.
* have one virtual session with a health professional to discuss their health and wellness.
* 7-21 days after the session with a health professional, participants will complete an online survey about their attitudes about healthcare and their treatment.
* Some participants may be invited to complete an additional interview about their study participation around 3 months after their session with the health professional.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Patient Priorities Care (PPC)

A health professional will conduct a 30-minute interview with the participant to: identify what matters most to them (their values); establish realistic, specific, and actionable healthcare goals they want to accomplish; identify the symptom or problem preventing the participant from reaching their goals; and establish one goal (the one thing) they want to focus on achieving with their healthcare providers that is aligned with the participant's values.

BEHAVIORAL

Resource Education

A health professional will conduct a 30-minute education session with the participant about resources on living with brain injury available on the Brain Injury Association of America website (https://biausa.org/). The interaction will exclude PPC-specific elements (health priorities identification and care alignment).
