This technical report is intended as a resource for researchers in the area of traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are interested in studying employment. While the measurement portion of this report is based on TBI Model System methodology, that methodology is the result of reviews of methods for collecting such data in healthy, TBI, and other populations. As a result, this information should be useful to researchers regardless of their involvement in the TBI Model Systems.

This report is organized into three sections:

  • Research on Traumatic Brain Injury and Employment;
  • Challenges Related to Studying Employment in Traumatic Brain Injury; and
  • Measurement of Employment in the TBI Model System.


The first two sections provide background information that is useful for considering the information presented in the third section.

You can download a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of the Studying Employment Report (218k). (What is PDF and How do I use PDF Files?)

This technical report was contributed by the Spaulding/Partners at Harvard Medical School, Ohio Regional, and Carolinas Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation and Research System at Charlotte Institute of Rehabilitation TBI Model Systems. Please contact Therese M. O'Neil-Pirozzi, Sc.D. at for more information.
