RECRUITING

The REACH Intervention for Caregivers of Veterans and Service Members With TBI

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This randomized waitlist control trial will evaluate the effects of a psychoeducational intervention called Resources for Enhancing All Caregivers' Health - Traumatic Brain Injury (REACH TBI) to decrease caregiver strain (primary outcome) and improve caregiver self-efficacy, anxiety, depression, and health care frustrations (secondary outcomes). This study will modify and adapt an award-winning caregiver intervention, Resources for Enhancing All Caregivers Health in the Department of Veterans Affairs (REACH VA), to support the needs of Caregivers of Veterans and Service Members with TBI.
