๐Ÿง  The University of Adelaide are seeking volunteers for research study ๐Ÿง 

Experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion?

TBI is more than a single, one-off event. Many people who have a TBI may experience long-lasting changes in their everyday function that can last for months, or even years, after the initial injury. TBI may also increase the risk of developing certain neurodegenerative disorders such as dementia or Parkinson's disease.

This study seeks to understand whether we can use a combination of behavioural tests, brain scans and markers in the blood/saliva in order to predict this risk.

We are looking for participants who:

โœ”๏ธ have experienced a medically diagnosed concussion or TBI after age 10

โœ”๏ธ are aged 18+

โœ”๏ธ are fluent in English

โœ”๏ธ are not suffering from uncorrected visual or hearing disorders

Participants will receive an honorarium of up to $75.

For more information and a link to sign up, please visit: health.adelaide.edu.au/our-research/find-tbi
