  METHODS
  The universe of Minnesota children (0-14 years old) and youth (15-24 years old) with a traumatic brain injury, and discharge date in the year 2005.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using an observational study design, registry data were merged with the data sets kept for each method of contact.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 96% of this population had some form of contact; 12% participated in RF. With each added contact, participation consistently increased.
