Dear Friends and Colleagues:
The Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) is producing new
materials for the National Brain Injury Information Center
(NBIIC) and Brain Injury Awareness Month 2007 that are to be
focus-tested. These materials will include a poster representing faces
of people with brain injury and presenting the theme: Brain Injury: As
Diverse as We Are. The poster will be accompanied by four fact
sheets/vignettes of the people in the poster and include information and
statistics on the leading causes of brain injury along with resources.
There will also be two booklets on behavioral issues following brain
injury and a guide for families and caregivers. The NBIIC is also
producing a new booklet about children and brain injury to be
disseminated to callers requesting information on brain injury and
children.
We are recruiting persons with brain injury and their family members for
individual interviews and focus groups.
Participants can not be employees or volunteers for the Brain Injury
Association of America or its state affiliates. Focus- group
participants will be asked to review materials and then attend a
60-minute telephone meeting. The individual interviews with persons with
brain injury will take about 30-45 minutes.
Each participant will receive $50 for participating.
If you are interested or know someone who would qualify and be willing
to participate, please go to
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=509282452479 in order to register
for focus-testing of these new materials.
Thank you for your interest.
