Identifying the Needs of OEF/OIF Veterans and Their Families: TBI and Co-Occurring Behavioral Health Issues
The purpose of this study is to explore and potentially increase the capacity of the non-VA
community mental health system within the state of Colorado to provide a comprehensive and
coordinated service delivery system for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi
Freedom (OIF) Veterans and their families. The specific population of interest is OEF/OIF
Veterans with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and co-occurring behavioral health
issues.
community mental health system within the state of Colorado to provide a comprehensive and
coordinated service delivery system for Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi
Freedom (OIF) Veterans and their families. The specific population of interest is OEF/OIF
Veterans with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and co-occurring behavioral health
issues.
The focus of this project is on qualitative data collection to facilitate product
development including assessment and treatment guidelines to improve non-VA community mental
health care for OEF/OIF Veterans with TBI and co-occurring behavioral health issues within
the state of Colorado. In addition to the development of assessment and treatment
guidelines, other products developed through this study will include a training and
accompanying toolkit, which may be used for annual educational training of mental health
providers. As such, there are no hypotheses associated with this study. This statewide
initiative may not only improve quality and access to non-VA community mental health care
for persons with TBI and co-occurring behavioral health issues within Colorado, but also
serve as a model for implementation across the country.
