“…This was the pattern observed with the Cox et al (2003) study with the intervention group, although the comparison group did not provide data at three time points. Unfortunately, Vungkhanching et al (2007) did not report the findings from the assessment immediately post-intervention and Heinemann et al (2004) did not have equivalent groups at baseline, so it is not possible to determine if the same pattern would have been observed in these studies.…”

“…In addition to examining behaviour change (substance use or misuse), investigators also examined outcomes thought to act as mechanisms or triggers for behaviour change, such as alcohol expectancies (Sander et al, 2012), readiness to change (Bombardier & Rimmele, 1999; Sander et al, 2012; Tweedly et al, 2012), coping skills (Vungkhanching et al, 2007) and motivational structure (Cox et al, 2003). Investigators have also examined outcomes that may be associated with reduced substance use: life satisfaction (Heinemann et al, 2004), employment, (Vungkhanching et al, 2007) and affect (Cox et al, 2003; Vungkhanching et al, 2007). Generally, in comparison to behaviour change, intervention effects were more easily detected for internal processes (knowledge, attitudes, beliefs) and consequences associated with substance misuse.…”

Objective: Review the literature to evaluate the evidence for effective treatment to mitigate substance misuse and substance use disorders (SUD) following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design: Systematic review. Data source: Scopus. Study eligibility criteria: A study was considered eligible for review if (a) the intended population specifically included persons with TBI; (b) the experimental intervention targeted misuse of alcohol, illegal drugs or prescription drugs; (c) the intervention was compared to the standard of care, control or another intervention; (d) the outcomes under study included substance use or misuse; and (e) the study design was a controlled trial. Results: Six studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Three studies were conducted during the acute phase of recovery using brief interventions, while the remaining three were conducted with individuals in the post-acute phase (usually several years post-injury) using more intensive treatment. All studies were found to be vulnerable to bias due to methodological weaknesses. Conclusions: While firm conclusions could not be drawn from the results of the studies, each study provided important information about the challenges to conducting SUD intervention trials with persons with TBI. The choices researchers will have to make to address these challenges are delineated.Models for chronic disease management maximise quality of life and health by promoting healthy lifestyles that reduce risk for deterioration and disease-related complications. One mechanism of deterioration following traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from engaging in behaviours that increase health risks, in particular substance misuse. Among persons with TBI, a history of substance misuse has been associated with increased risk of re-injury, suicide attempt and poor life satisfaction (Baguley et al.

“…A 12-session counseling intervention resulted in decreased alcohol and drug use, relative to a nonintervention group, at 9-month followup. 37 A community-based intervention, designed to enhance existing services, revealed increased abstinence rates and decreased frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption. 2,38 .…”

“…The other seven studies evaluated specific interventions. Four of these were interdisciplinary in nature, involving social work jointly delivering the intervention in collaboration with other health professionals (Dahlberg et al., ; Egan et al., ; Simpson, McCann, & Lowy, ), or social workers as one of several health professionals individually delivering the same intervention (Vungkhanching, Heinemann, Langley, Ridgely, & Kramer, ). The remaining studies documented interventions delivered by social workers (Moore et al., ; Rowlands, b; Simpson, Tate, Whiting, & Cotter, ).…”

The International Network for Social Workers in Acquired Brain Injury (INSWABI) commissioned a systematic scoping review to ascertain the social work-generated evidence base on people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) of working age. The review aimed to identify the output, impact and quality of publications authored by social workers on this topic. Study quality was evaluated through assessment frameworks drawn from the United Kingdom National Service Framework for Long-Term Conditions. In the 40-year period from 1975 to 2014, 115 items were published that met the search criteria (intervention studies, n = 10; observational studies, n = 52; literature reviews, n = 6; expert opinion or policy analysis, n = 39; and others, n = 8). The publications could be grouped into five major fields of practice: families, social inclusion, military, inequalities and psychological adjustment. There was a significant increase in the number of publications over each decade. Impact was demonstrated in that the great majority of publications had been cited at least once (80.6%, 103/115). Articles published in rehabilitation journals were cited significantly more often than articles published in social work journals.A significant improvement in publication quality was observed across the four decades, with the majority of studies in the last decade rated as high quality.
