About this study

Official title: Promoting Wellness in Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized Trial Assessing the Effectiveness of the Mindfulness, Exercise, Nutrition to Optimize Resilience (MENTOR) Program

This randomized trial aims to determine the effectiveness a virtual wellness intervention program in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants will be randomized at enrollment into two groups: immediate treatment (IT) and delayed treatment (DT) group. This study will also provide insights into the impact of these intervention's components in helping emotional, physical, and nutritional outcomes post-injury in the context of social determinants of health (SDOH).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) Score at Baseline

    14-item scale measuring mindfulness. Items are rated on a scale from 1 (rarely) to 4 (almost always); the total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 14 to 56; higher scores indicate greater levels of mindfulness.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) Score at Post-Intervention Assessment

    14-item scale measuring mindfulness. Items are rated on a scale from 1 (rarely) to 4 (almost always); the total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 14 to 56; higher scores indicate greater levels of mindfulness.

    Measured: Post-Intervention Assessment (Week 8 for IT; Week 16 for DT)

  3. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) Score at Baseline

    The IPAQ calculates the metabolic equivalent (MET) score by asking participants the days and minutes exercised in three categories of intensity (vigorous, moderate, and walking) during the previous one week. The following formula is used to calculate the MET: MET=8(vigorous activity) (minutes) + 4 (moderate activity)(minutes) +3.3 (walking activity) (minutes).

    Measured: Baseline

  4. International Physical Activity Questionnaire Score at Post-Intervention Assessment

    The IPAQ calculates the metabolic equivalent (MET) score by asking participants the days and minutes exercised in three categories of intensity (vigorous, moderate, and walking) during the previous one week. The following formula is used to calculate the MET: MET=8(vigorous activity) (minutes) + 4 (moderate activity)(minutes) +3.3 (walking activity) (minutes).

    Measured: Post-Intervention Assessment (Week 8 for IT; Week 16 for DT)

  5. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) Score at Baseline

    53-item self-assessment of nutritional and health-related habits. Items are rated on a scale from 1 (never) to 4 (routinely); the total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 52 to 208. Higher scores indicate nutritional and health-related habits that are more closely associated with good health outcomes.

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) Score at Post-Intervention Assessment

    53-item self-assessment of nutritional and health-related habits. Items are rated on a scale from 1 (never) to 4 (routinely); the total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 52 to 208. Higher scores indicate nutritional and health-related habits that are more closely associated with good health outcomes.

    Measured: Post-Intervention Assessment (Week 8 for IT; Week 16 for DT)

  7. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC-10) Score at Baseline

    10-item assessment of how participants feel when faced with various difficult situations. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 (not true at all) to (true nearly all the time). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 40; higher scores indicate greater resilience.

    Measured: Baseline

  8. Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC-10) Score at Post-Retention Assessment

    10-item assessment of how participants feel when faced with various difficult situations. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 (not true at all) to (true nearly all the time). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 40; higher scores indicate greater resilience.

    Measured: Post-Retention Period Assessment (Week 16 for IT; Week 24 for DT)

  9. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Score at Baseline

    10-item assessment of perceived stress. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 40; higher scores indicate higher perceived stress.

    Measured: Baseline

  10. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Score at Post-Retention Assessment

    10-item assessment of perceived stress. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 (never) to 4 (very often). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 40; higher scores indicate higher perceived stress.

  11. Participation Assessment with Recombined Tools - Objective (PART-O) Score at Baseline

    10-item assessment of participation in the community. Each item is rated on a scale from 0-5; the total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 50; higher scores indicate greater community participation.

    Measured: Baseline

  12. Participation Assessment with Recombined Tools - Objective (PART-O) Score at Post-Retention Assessment

    10-item assessment of participation in the community. Each item is rated on a scale from 0-5; the total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0 to 50; higher scores indicate greater community participation.

  19. Flourishing Scale Score at Baseline

    8-item assessment of general prosperity. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 8-56; higher scores indicate greater prosperity.

    Measured: Baseline

  20. Flourishing Scale Score at Post-Retention Assessment
