Background: Childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in impairments in learning, cognition, and behaviour; all of which can adversely influence educational outcomes. Schools can play a crucial role in rehabilitation, therefore it is important that evidence-based supports are available in these settings., Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of school-based supports and interventions available following childhood TBI., Methods: A comprehensive search strategy involved eight research databases, grey literature, and backward reference searching., Results: The search identified 19 studies, reporting on sixteen distinct interventions, which used a variety of person-centred and systemic approaches, and typically contained multiple components, including: psychoeducation, behavioural scripts, and attention training. While offering some indication for future directions in intervention, the evidence base for individual interventions was typically limited, and does not take account of cost or issues in sustainability., Conclusion: While there appears to be great potential to support students who may otherwise not gain access to services, there is insufficient evidence to guide widespread policy or practice change without further research. Greater collaboration between researchers, clinical practitioners, and educators is necessary to ensure that all interventions developed are robustly evaluated and disseminated.

Background: Chronic impairment following childhood traumatic brain injury has the potential to increase risk of negative outcomes. This highlights potential value in community-based rehabilitation programs., Objectives: To identify research studies examining existing intervention programmes available in community-based rehabilitation to adolescents following TBI to assist with the transition back into the community., Methods: A systematic review of community-based interventions was conducted across different national contexts. All included studies involved a clinical population with TBI, aged 11 to 25 years inclusive. Risk of bias was rated for each included study., Results: Seventeen studies were identified for inclusion in the review, of these eleven distinct interventions were found. The quality of evidence was largely weak and highly variable., Conclusion: The results suggest some improvement in adolescent outcomes following community-based interventions, however higher quality evidence is needed to support specific interventions.
