Hidden TBI Affects More Than 30 million
Americans
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
estimates 3.17 million people ( over 1% of the U.S. population) live with a
life-long disability as a result of TBI. Research suggests that for
every person hospitalized with a brain injury, three to five others
who are injured do not receive any care at all. This is the Hidden
TBI population and includes children on the playground, young
athletes, battered partners and children, and returning service
members. The TBI Research Review has published a Policy and
Procedure manual for diagnosing, treating and living with the life
long effects of traumatic brain injuries.
You can access this manual here. (pdf)
