Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine the comparative effectiveness of 3 modes of family problem-solving therapy (F-PST): therapist-guided online, self-guided online, and face-to-face. SETTING: Four children's hospitals and a general hospital with pediatric commitment. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 150 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years, previously hospitalized with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and evidence of behavior problems at enrollment. DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized clinical trial. MAIN MEASURES: Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) Global Executive Composite (GEC), Behavior Regulation Index, and Metacognition Index, and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) Total at baseline and 6 and 9 months later. RESULTS: Mixed-model intention-to-treat analyses of comparative effectiveness failed to reveal statistically significant differences among treatment groups. At 6 months, parent BRIEF-GEC improved for the therapist-guided and self-guided, online groups. Effects remained significant and increased in magnitude at 9 months for the self-guided online group. Scores for the Self-guided online group significantly improved from baseline to 9 months on the SDQ Total. CONCLUSIONS: This comparative effectiveness study supports the utility of both self- and therapist-guided online F-PST in improving executive function behaviors in adolescents following TBI. Further work regarding clinical implementation and how best to integrate telehealth with ongoing rehabilitation care is warranted.
