<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">My name is Biniyam Melesse, and I am part of a research team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that is conducting a study of caregivers of veterans with
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). We are interested in learning about the caregiver's experience and needs and how those needs are changed over time. We're trying to develop informed and sustainable long-term care for the veteran and the caregiver's overall well-being.
The study addresses a significant gap in the field and, in the long term, will help the policymakers and healthcare providers anticipate the changing needs and capabilities of the caregiver of the veteran with TBI to reduce the burden on the caregiver and
increase veteran outcomes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We are currently recruiting caregivers of veterans to participate in the study, which is conducted 100% remotely, and the participants are compensated. I was emailing to
check if it would be possible to share our recruitment flyer with your listserv or other contacts. I appreciate it if we can share the attached flyer with your organization.
