Summary

Gaining Real-life Skills Over the Web (GROW) is an online parenting-skills intervention for caregivers of children aged 0-4 who sustained traumatic brain injuries. GROW is designed to promote family and child coping and adjustment for caregivers.

Detailed description

This project develops and evaluates an online learning environment of web-based intervention modules designed to promote family and child coping and adjustment (GROW: Gaining Real-life Skills Over the Web) based on a comprehensive needs assessment of children aged 0 to 14 years old, who experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) between the ages of 0 to 4 years, and their families. The incidence of TBI peaks between the ages 0 to 4 years, yet there are no evidenced-based interventions to facilitate neurocognitive development and socio-emotional functioning of children injured during this critical development period. To address the unmet need of caregivers of infants and toddlers with TBI, the project uses a three-phase development process to generate proof of concept and initial proof of product. Phase 1 involves a comprehensive needs assessment that includes quantitative assessment of family and child needs, qualitative assessment through focus groups and interviews of families, feedback from family and professional advisory boards, and consultation with professionals implementing interventions with similar populations (e.g., families of children with very low birth weight). During Phase 2, the project develops the content and manual for the intervention modules, designs the online learning environment, and conducts intensive, iterative usability testing. Phase 3 involves a pilot of the GROW program with 20 families to evaluate its usability, acceptability, and qualitative and quantitative impact on stakeholder identified outcomes.

Conditions

• Traumatic Brain Injury

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Positive Parenting Intervention	The highly interactive GROW Program consists of 5 core modules and 1 optional, supplemental session. Each session is expected to take 15-20 minutes to complete, and at the end of each module, parents record a 5 minute "special play time" video interacting with their child to demonstrate the skills they learned in the session. Each online module is followed by a meeting with a trained therapist who will discuss their "special play time" video and the skills they are learning. Parents make their way through the 5 core modules sequentially before accessing the supplemental session that may be relevant to them.
