OBIA is pleased to announce the launch of the new Brain Injury Impact Study. OBIA has been conducting research for more than 25 years. Many things have changed ...over the years, including the incidence and impact of concussion being brought to the forefront. For our research to remain relevant, we are transitioning from the current research questionnaire to the Brain Injury Impact Study. There are two versions of the new study, one for Individuals Living with Brain Injury/Concussion and the other, for Family Members and Caregivers. By completing the annual study, participants will receive a FREE membership to OBIA and a participating Community Association. Join OBIA's reseach study and MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
