description: Background: Women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) are at a high risk for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Women’s shelters may be an ideal location for TBI screening. Behavior change theory can help understand factors that influence screening at women’s shelters and develop interventions to promote screening. Objective: To use behavior change theory and an integrated knowledge translation approach to understand the local context of women’s shelters, factors influencing screening for TBIs among staff that work at women’s shelters, and co-develop intervention recommendations to promote screening of TBIs at women’s shelters. Methods: The research was conducted in three phases in partnership with the Kelowna Women’s Shelter. In Phase 1, participants, who were staff at women’s shelters across Canada, completed an online survey that assessed their current TBI screening behaviours, knowledge of TBIs, and factors influencing screening. In Phase 2, participants, who were staff at women’s shelters in the Okanagan, completed an interview regarding the factors that influence screening for TBIs. In both phases, factors were analyzed using the Theoretical Domains Framework. In Phase 3, intervention recommendations were co-developed using the Behaviour Change Wheel. Results: In Phase 1, only 25% of participants (n=150) had ever screened for TBIs in their work. On average, participants scored a 12/18 (SD=1.99) on the knowledge of TBI’s assessment. Regarding factors hindering screening, findings indicate that participants lack skills (mean=2.1, SD=1.9) and knowledge (mean=2.9 SD=2.2) with regards to screening and are nervous to screen (mean=3.0 SD=2.4) for TBIs. In Phase 2, 194 barriers to screening for TBI were extracted from ten interviews with staff members. Prominent domains included knowledge (37%), beliefs about iv capabilities (16%), and environmental context and resources (15%). Finally, in Phase 3, five intervention recommendations were co-developed for inter…
