Provide feedback in joint patient focus groups: mild traumatic brain injury, or mTBI

[Tony]

FALLS CHURCH, Va.   –  Have you experienced a mild traumatic brain injury, or mTBI, also known as a concussion? The Defense Health Agency and Veterans Health Administration would like to hear from you. Together, they’re hosting a virtual focus group on Friday, March 20 at 1 p.m. ET, inviting patients to share their experiences living with and recovering from mTBI.
This initiative aims to learn directly from patients to help shape clinical practice guidelines for treatment across military and veteran communities.

“Our team is seeking any patient that has a diagnosis of mTBI—or had an alteration due to loss of consciousness, such as post-traumatic amnesia,” said Lynn Young, RN, BSN, CIC, Office of Evidence-Based Practice, Medical Affairs at the Defense Health Agency. “Sharing your experience will help inform discussions and generate inputs for the clinical practice guideline.”

Each focus group needs nine volunteers and lasts about two hours. Participants will provide feedback on a new clinical practice guideline for mTBI. The deadline to register is Thursday, March 12 at 5 p.m. ET.
