Researchers Vanderbilt University Medical Center are conducting a study on outcomes following traumatic brain injury. 

 

We are currently inviting participants who meet the following criteria: 

• 18-55 years old 

• History of traumatic brain injury

​

To determine your eligibility, please fill out this online survey. 

 

Participants may complete this study remotely, from their own homes, over a 15 day period. Your participation in the study would involve:

 

• Completing some computer tasks online, while talking to an experimenter on Zoom. There will be 8 sessions during the 15-day period. 

• Wearing an activity monitor, which we will mail to you, on your wrist for the entire experiment period. This monitor is non-invasive and can be removed at any time. It records information about your sleep/rest and activity levels. We will ask you to wear it 24 hours a day during the experiment, then mail it back to us using pre-paid shipping materials after the 15-day period. 

 

This is a scientific research study, and not part of routine medical care. There are no costs to participants for these research-related procedures. 

 

Participants will be compensated $15/hour for active participation sessions (for the sessions with online computer tasks). Wearing the activity monitor is entirely voluntary, and participants will receive an additional $10 of compensation for every 24 hours the activity monitor is worn during the experiment period. Participants may earn up to $290 if they complete all components of the study. 

​

We will contact you over the phone or email to let you know if you are eligible for the study and schedule your participation. We make every effort to schedule research-related visits at your convenience. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at DuffLab@VUMC.org.
