Research Opportunity for People with Traumatic Brain Injuries

A great way people with disabilities can self-advocate is to help raise awareness by participating in surveys and studies.

The West Virginia University Center on Excellence in Disabilities is doing an online survey-based research study about the sleep quality and decision-making abilities of people who have had traumatic brain injuries. To be eligible, participants must be 18 years old or older and have sustained a brain injury within the past 3 years.

To participate, please visit TBI Research Project.

Eligible participants who complete the study will receive a $10 Walmart gift certificate.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

The Brain Injury Association of America reminds us that, “A brain injury can happen anytime, anywhere to anyone. Brain injuries do not discriminate. Did you know that 1.7 million people will sustain a brain injury each year? An injury that happens in an instant can bring a lifetime of physical, cognitive and behavior challenges and early, equal and adequate access to care will greatly increase overall quality of life. This is our goal. Please click here for more information.
