All elements of the intervention were delivered to 53 study-participants. Evaluation questionnaires were completed by 21 of the 31 patients aged 12\u2009years and older, and by 41 caregivers. Overall, the sessions were considered useful by 19 patients, 40 caregivers and both professionals. Reassurance, creating a better understanding and recognition of symptoms were rated as important aspects. On a scale from 1 to 10, the intervention was rated by children, caregivers and professionals with 7.6 (SD 1.2), 8.1 (SD .9) and 8.0 (SD .0), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The \u2018Brains Ahead!\u2019 intervention was largely implemented as intended and the process evaluation revealed that it is considered feasible according to patients, caregivers and professionals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215520911439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,5]],"date-time":"2020-05-05T03:25:01Z","timestamp":1588649101000},"page":"688-697","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Process evaluation of \u2018Brains Ahead!\u2019: an intervention for children and adolescents with mild traumatic brain injury within a randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7996-5865","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M Irene","family":"Renaud","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Revant Rehabilitation Centre, Breda, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Neuropsychology and Psychopharmacology, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Limburg Brain Injury Center, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carina","family":"Klees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Revant Rehabilitation Centre, Breda, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jolanda CM","family":"van Haastregt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Services Research and Care and Public Health Research Institute (CAPHRI), Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Coriene E","family":"Catsman-Berrevoets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatric Neurology, Erasmus University Hospital\/Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ingrid GL","family":"van de Port","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Revant Rehabilitation Centre, Breda, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzanne AM","family":"Lambregts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Revant Rehabilitation Centre, Breda, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Erasmus University Hospital\/Sophia Children\u2019s Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline M","family":"van Heugten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuropsychology and Psychopharmacology, Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Limburg Brain Injury Center, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands"},{"name":"School for Mental Health and Neuroscience, Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215518785418"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13063-016-1357-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2217\/cnc-2016-0030"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2018.2853"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1524839904273387"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.80.2.159","article-title":"Minor head trauma in children: an intervention to decrease functional morbidity","volume":"80","author":"Casey R","year":"1987","unstructured":"Casey R, Ludwig S, McCormick MC.
