Brief Summary

This pilot study will utilize a longitudinal concurrent mixed-methods research design that gathers and analyzes qualitative and quantitative data overtime about a new 10-session financial coaching program the investigators have developed. The data collected will be used to inform improvements to future related studies and programs for people living with acquired brain injury (ABI). These mixed-methods data from each method will be integrated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intervention (i.e., the financial coaching program). Each individualized intervention per ABI-survivor participant will be completed over 3-4 months (i.e., 12-14 weeks).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)

  COPM is a client-centred tool for individuals to identify and rank problems that restrict their participant in their daily life. Scale score 0-10 on satisfaction and 0-10 on performance of two study goals. Higher scores means more satisfaction or more self-perceived performance related to the goal.

  through study completion, an average 3 months

• Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)

  Goal attainment scaling is a client-centred approach that makes it easier for clients to create personalized and relevant goals for therapy and tracks how far the intervention is moving in the direction of attaining the set goals. Scale of 1-5 for each goals, where 3 is equal to goal being met, 1-2 is goal progress but goal not met, and 4-5 is goal is met and exceeded.

EXPERIMENTAL

The total time in this study for an ABI-survivor participant is 10 hours and 15 minutes which includes 7.5 hours of intervention time and 2.75 hours of data collection time. This is an individualized, in-person 10-session financial coaching intervention program. Each session is 45-minutes.
