Designing Electronic Problem-Solving Training for Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury: Mixed Methods, Community-Based, Participatory Research Case Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Traditional rehabilitation research often excludes the voices of individuals with lived experience of traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting in interventions that lack relevance, accessibility, and effectiveness. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) offers an alternative framework that emphasizes collaboration, power sharing, and sustained engagement with patients, caregivers, and clinicians.

Methods

A multistep, mixed methods design case methodology was adopted, guided by C
