Abstract	Background People with acquired brain injury (ABI) may experience concurrent conditions such as, mental health and substance use concerns, that require specialized care. There are services that aim to support people with ABI and these conditions separately; however, little is known about the facilitators and barriers of these services. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to engage stakeholders to investigate the facilitators and barriers of healthcare services for ABI and concurrent issues. Methods Semi-structured focus groups were conducted in-person and virtually with people with ABI, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and policy makers during a one-day event in British Columbia, Canada. Manifest content analysis was used with a constructivist perspective to analyze data. Results 90 participants (including 34 people with ABI) provided insights during 15 simultaneous focus groups. Three categories were identified: (1) complexity of ABI, (2) supports, (3) structure of care. Complexity of ABI outlined the ongoing basic needs after ABI and highlighted the need for public awareness of ABI. Supports outlined healthcare professional and community-based supports. Structure of care described people with ABI needing to meet criteria for support, experiences of navigating through the system and necessity of integrated services. Conclusions These findings highlight the facilitators and barriers of healthcare services for ABI and concurrent conditions and provide insights into the changes that may be needed. Doing so can improve the accessibility and quality of ABI healthcare services.
