Objectives:
To gather data on some quantifiable characteristics of residential community integration programs available to adults with brain injury.
Participants:
Directors, assistant directors, or coordinators of community integration programs for people with brain injury. MEASUREMENT TOOLS: The Community Integration Program Questionnaire (CIPQ).
Design:
Nationwide telephone survey of 30 residential community integration programs between June 2002 and June 2003.
Results:
There was tremendous variability in the areas of staffing, client, and programmatic characteristics. Staff-to-client ratio varied from 0.77 to 3.3. Lengths of stay ranged from 0.13 to 288 months. Times from injury to admission varied from 0.2 to 180 months.
Conclusions:
The considerable variability in characteristics of residential community integration programs for adults with brain injury presents significant challenges to researchers seeking to identify vital program components and to consumers attempting to compare programs.
