abstract="<b>Primary Objective</b>: To examine patterns of community participation, as well as the relationship among community participation outcomes and time since injury, impairments, environmental factors, and enfranchisement in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI).<b>Research Design</b>: Cross-sectional study of a sample of 61 adults with TBI.<b>Methods and Procedures</b>: We administered the Participation Measure- 3 Domains 4 Dimensions to examine community participation in the three domains (productivity, community activities, and social participation) using four dimensions (diversity of activities, frequency, difficulty, and desire for change).<b>Main Results and Outcomes</b>: All dimensions of community participation seem to be impaired following TBI, as evidenced by scores in the lower half of the available range. Most impaired was social participation (frequency: <i>M</i> = 10.0, <i>SD</i> = 3.4, possible range 0-24; difficulty: <i>M=</i>  11.3, <i>SD =</i> 3.2, possible range 4-16). Correlational analyses revealed that depression (<i>r</i> = 0.51), environmental factors (<i>r</i> = 0.51), and enfranchisement (<i>r</i> = 0.42), seem to play an important role in community participation outcomes, and may be potential targets for intervention. <br><br>RESULTS did not vary based on time since injury.<b>Conclusion</b>: Our results suggest that depression, environmental factors, and enfranchisement may be important considerations for future interventions aiming to promote management of identified barriers.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
