A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of individualized nutrition therapy on diet quality among community-dwelling individuals with a history of brain injury. Participants will be randomized into two groups: one receiving three personalized nutrition counseling sessions with a Registered Dietitian and the other receiving standard nutrition education handouts. The study will assess changes in dietary intake through surveys and dietary recalls conducted via Zoom or telephone. The goal is to determine if tailored nutrition counseling can lead to improved dietary habits in this population.
