Collaborative Care Model for the Treatment of Persistent Symptoms After Concussion Among Youth

Intervention subjects will receive treatment from an MSW-trained care manager over the course of 6-months after randomization. Intervention team members will work collaboratively with primary care providers to link physical and mental health care longitudinally through outpatient follow-up and community rehabilitation. Intervention subjects and their families and collaborative team members will share information and deliberate treatment decisions with each other in order to develop an individually tailored treatment plan. Stepped, higher intensity care will be available for intervention subjects with recurrent symptoms. Stepped up care will include CBT booster sessions targeting post-concussive and related symptom comorbidity as well as psychopharmacologic assessment and treatment.
