Re-entry Continuum for Brain Injury
Sponsor: Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana
Summary
The overall research objectives of the proposed project are to decrease the rate of recidivism, defined as returning to incarceration within three years of release, as well as reduce the number of violent offenses, through the successful implementation of a continuum of services that addresses the unique needs of the TBI population. RHI, in partnership with PCF and IU, will work together to accomplish these goals. To meet study objectives, this randomized controlled trial (RCT) will enroll 102 individuals with TBI who will be randomized into the Reentry Continuum for Brain Injury (RCBI) intervention or a TAU-CG. Participants will be screened for TBI eight months prior to release from PCF. Upon consenting to participate, all subjects will be evaluated before, during, and after the intervention and recidivism data will be collected through IDOC's Data Analysis and Technology Department.

Interventions
Reentry Continuum for Brain Injury (RCBI)
Pre-Release RCBI Treatment Procedures (BICS and ICAN). BICS: consists of 12 weekly two- hour sessions. Sessions focus on brain injury education, coping skills for the various symptoms of brain injury, depression management, stress management, and self- advocacy. ICAN: delivered once a week for 6 weeks for 2 hours per session. ICAN primarily focuses on poor perspective-taking and inability to make social inferences about others' behaviors that are related to negative attributions, and employs role playing exercises and a novel perspective-positioning technique to elicit affective and cognitive empathy to alter negative attributions and reduce anger. Post-Release RCBI Resource Facilitation. Working with their resource facilitator, alongside their corrections case manager, to work on brain injury specific reentry planning, resource, and needs identification.
