Objective The goal of this study is to determine where racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic differences exist regarding longitudinal outcomes in young adults following a TBI. The Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems (TBIMS) provides data coded for community, racial and ethnic groups and outcomes. This study maps Poverty Solutions Initiative data from the University of Michigan onto TBIMS outcomes data. We hypothesize SES, racial and ethnic differences predict functional and psychosocial outcomes and broader community factors improve prediction. Minorities in economically disadvantaged areas will have poorer functional and psychosocial outcomes. Method Data was obtained from the TBIMS database. Participants included (N = 3251) young adults ages 19–24 at the time of their TBI and outcomes for 1, 2 and 5 years after injury. A table of demographic information is provided in the attached image. The poverty Solutions Index was mapped onto TBIMS data by matching county codes. Results A mediation analysis was used to synthesize the data. Predictors include race and preinjury income, outcomes include functional and psychosocial, mediators include community SES, and confounders include injury severity. Conclusions When controlling for injury severity, relative preinjury income levels seemingly predict functional outcomes. This poster will discuss if and to what extent community factors are a mediator in TBI recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
