Mobilizing Early Management of Mental Health Complications After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Family physicians will receive a tailored letter with their patient's mental health screening test results and associated mental health treatment recommendations from the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation guidelines, as well as a list of mental health treatment resources. In addition, the patient will receive a written information package about mental health problems after mTBI and treatment options to discuss with their family physician.

Family physicians will receive a generic letter drawing their attention to Canadian clinical practice guidelines for mild Traumatic Brain Injury (developed by the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation). Patients will receive instructions about how to access generic education materials about mTBI (from concussion.vch.ca/), which they should have received anyway as part of usual care.
