The survey has four sections. Section I asks for general information about your organization and information on the current services it is providing for survivors of BI. Information from Section I will be used to supplement information in the Oregon Brain Injury Resource Directory database (http://www.tr.wou.edu/tbi/tbires/Agencyse.htm ) which is used by persons with brain injury , their family members, public and private service providers, and other organizations looking for information and assistance. Section IV asks for your opinion about the needs and gaps in the system of services for survivors. This section provides critical information that will aid the Governor

In additional, we are asking for your help by forwarding a request to participate in survey to others who may be interested. In addition to being a provider, if you are a person with brain injury or family member, please fill out the survey for persons with brain injury, their families at Survivor and Family Members Questionnaire.

We thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey. Your responses will help the Task Force formulate recommendations that reflect the knowledge and experience of service providers; and by sending information on your organization to OBIRN, you will add to resource information that can be made available to brain injury survivors, family members and professionals serving them. We do appreciate all of your input.
