abstract="The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a web-based educational intervention for reducing postconcussion symptoms. 158 participants with self-reported symptomatic mild traumatic brain injury were randomized to intervention versus control. There was no effect of intervention on symptom severity or attributions. Subgroup analyses suggested benefit of the web-based intervention in those receiving concurrent mental health treatment and in those participants with the greatest time since injury (>1 year after mild traumatic brain injury). Web-based educational intervention was not effective overall in this sample. However, there is some suggestion of promise in those receiving concurrent mental health treatment and with more chronic symptoms. <br><br>FINDINGS also suggest potential benefit of interventions targeting self-efficacy.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
