CABI Lab

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Banyan Communications are developing a nationwide campaign to help parents and caregivers understand concussions in youth and how to care for them. They are asking parents and caregivers who have children that are 18 years or younger to share their concussion knowledge and any challenges they may have to make informed concussion care decisions by participating in a 60-minute focus group via Zoom. Participants will receive a $25 gift card for their time. If you are interested in participating please click here:

The CABI Lab is excited to announce that Dr. Jennifer Lundine (Assistant Professor in Speech & Hearing Science) was awarded a two-year R03 grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development of NIH. The project, "Pilot Study to Develop a Functional Status Score for Children with Acute Neurologic Injuries and Illnesses," includes Dr. Jared Huling (Assistant Professor in the Dept of Statistics) as mPI and co-investigator Dr. Julie Leonard at Nationwide Children's Hospital. The goal of this study is to demonstrate feasibility and proof of concept for the development of a functional status score that uses clinically relevant claims data from the electronic medical record to accurately represent a child’s functional mobility, self-care, and cognitive/communication status.
