STEP-Home Improves Neurobehavioral Symptoms and Reintegration in Veterans With TBI and Differentially Impacts Anger Control
The STEP-Home intervention shows promise for improving persistent neurobehavioral symptoms in Veterans with and without a history of TBI. Treatment benefits were maintained over time in both groups. Veterans with a history of TBI showed significant improvement in anger control, which is critical to improving daily functional status after brain injury. SH offers an acceptable, transdiagnostic alternative treatment approach to improve functioning for Veterans with TBI and those at risk for TBI/brain injury due to military service.
