<div>Evidence from two Class I and two Class II studies as well as from a number of Class III and IV studies indicate that "behavioural intervention in general (i.e. not a specific intervention protocol) for behaviour problems after TBI in both children and adults should be considered" in both the acute and post-acute levels of recovery (Practice Guideline; p. 782).</div>
