Concussion Health Improvement Program for Youth
This study is testing a Concussion Health Improvement Program for young people aged 11 to 18 who have been diagnosed with a concussion within the last 1 to 12 months and are still experiencing at least three new or worsening symptoms. The program combines three approaches: concussion-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (cf-CBT) to help with symptoms like anxiety and depression, parent skills training (PST) to teach positive parenting techniques, and care management (CM) to support parents in advocating for their child's needs. The goal is to see if these interventions improve concussion symptoms and overall quality of life over one year. This study is conducted remotely, so you can participate from anywhere.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 304 participants. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants will be assigned to different treatment groups by chance.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive six 30-minute sessions of cf-CBT. Parents will also receive parent skills training and care management support.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your health will be monitored over one year, with assessments at baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.

What this trial measures
- Health Behavior Inventory (HBI)Trajectory over one year (baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year)
A 20-item questionnaire that assesses concussive symptoms on a 4-point scale, ranging from "never" to "often," and yields total scores in cognitive and somatic domains. The scale includes youth-report and parent-report versions with established reliability and validity in youth with sports-injury. Possible scores range from 0-60 with higher indicating more symptomatic (i.e., worse).
- Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)Trajectory over one year (baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year)
A 23-item questionnaire that assesses physical, emotional, social and school functioning. The scale includes youth-report and parent-report versions. Possible scores range from 0- 100 with 100 indicating higher quality of life (i.e., better).
