The objective of this study was to examine brain injury professionals’ perspectives on the future concerns of families of persons with brain injuries in the United States of America. A total of 28 persons in leadership positions with the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) participated. Through qualitative data analysis of an open-ended question in an electronic survey containing both qualitative and quantitative questions, participants identified future concerns related to future caregiving responsibilities, financial concerns, living arrangements, recovery, access to professional care, relationships and employment. The findings indicate that many families are unprepared to meet the future care and support needs of their injured family members.
