Relevance – TBI can result in cognitive impairments and persistent postconcussive symptoms that limit functional recovery, including return to work.

Employment specialist delivered CogSMART sessions, which included psychoeducation on: – TBI. – Improving sleep, fatigue, headaches, and tension. – Compensatory cognitive strategies in prospective memory, attention, learning and memory, and executive functioning.

Small to medium effect sizes favoring CogSMART for: – Posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity, depressive symptom severity, and attainment of competitive work within 14 wk. CogSMART participants rated intervention highly.

These effects (plus smaller effects on psychiatric symptoms and ability to return to work) warrant replication in larger trial.
