Posted 10/03/2024Adult Outcomes after Childhood Brain Injury (brain injury and non-brain injury participants needed)

My name is Jessica Riccardi, PhD CCC-SLP, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Maine. I am conducting a research study to examine the adult outcomes of individuals who did or did not experience a brain injury during childhood. Participants must be between 25 and 80 years old. Please note, you do not have to have medical documentation for your brain injury in order to participate in this study. We are looking for individuals with diverse demographic characteristics so you will first participate in a phone or email screening to determine if you are eligible for the survey. This should take less than 5 minutes. If you are eligible, you will receive a link to the confidential online survey which should take less than one hour.

Compensation: If you answer at least 80% of the survey questions, you will receive a $30 electronic Amazon gift card.

Contact: If you are interested in participating or
