2010 Nebraska Traumatic Brain Injury Needs and Resources Assessment

In 2010, Vocational Rehabilitation and the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Advisory Council partnered with Schmeeckle Research, Inc. to conduct the Nebraska TBI Needs and Resources Assessment | Nebraska TBI Needs and Resources Assessment - Executive Summary. The researchers analyzed data from the Nebraska TBI Registry and surveys completed by individuals with brain injury, their family members, service providers and state agencies, and from focus groups, key informants and other sources in an effort to:

1. describe the current TBI population, incidence rates and prevalence rates
2. identify the service needs of individuals with brain injury and their families
3. describe existing services and supports, service gaps and system barriers

The Nebraska TBI Advisory Council will use the reported data to promote awareness, develop training opportunities, and to advise the Department of Education (Vocational Rehabilitation and Special Populations), and the Department of Health and Human Services in the implementation of the State Plan for Systematic Services for Individuals with Brain Injuries and their Families, and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) TBI Implementation Partnership Grant.
