Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe and compare recruitment strategies to Resource Facilitation (RF) for children and youth with an incident traumatic brain injury. POPULATION: The universe of Minnesota children (0-14 years old) and youth (15-24 years old) with a traumatic brain injury, and discharge date in the year 2005. METHODS: Using an observational study design, registry data were merged with the data sets kept for each method of contact. RESULTS: A total of 96% of this population had some form of contact; 12% participated in RF. With each added contact, participation consistently increased. CONCLUSION: Resource Facilitation recruitment needs to rely on multiple methods and multiple contacts to achieve the highest participation.
