Title: Understanding the Interaction Between the Frequency and Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury on Post-Injury Housing Instability
Introduction:
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) have been shown to affect individuals facing housing instability disproportionately, with the existing literature indicating that there is a 53.1% TBI prevalence. The existing literature shows the leading causes of TBIs among those unstably housed result from violence (i.e. assaults) and falls, particularly related to substance use (i.e. alcohol and drug use). In addition, multiple TBIs that resulted in a loss of consciousness (LOC) have also led to long-term psychological, socioeconomical, and functional challenges for these survivors increasing their risk for repeated TBIs and prolonged housing instability. While the existing literature has studied the prevalence and cause related to TBIs, there still is little known about the interaction frequency (i.e. single vs multiple TBIs) and causes (non-violent vs violent TBIs). This study aims to address this gap by further exploring this interaction and whether the compounding effects of multiple violent-related TBIs can exacerbate risks and can potentially contribute for housing instability among survivors.
Methods:
This retrospective study utilizes pre-existing data from the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) national database to examine the interaction between TBI frequency and causes on post-injury housing outcomes among survivors. The clinical and demographic information of the participants (N = ) from the TBIMS database were included. TBIs were coded and categorized by frequency TBIs resulting in loss of consciousness (LOC) (i.e., single vs multiple) and causes (i.e. violent vs non-violent TBIs). All unknown and missing participant information based on TBI frequency and causes were excluded. This study's analysis conducted chi square tests and a logistic regression analysis, which will evaluate the effects and interaction of TBI frequency and causes predicting post-injury housing instability. Covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, injury severity Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and prior homelessness." Need Assignment Help?
