National News

Range of Statistics Cited on the Number of Returning Service Members with TBI. Yet, one thing seems apparent - the numbers are large.

There are several different sets of numbers out there about how many TBIs have resulted from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Screening continues to be a big issue, as the Department of Defense does not have a comprehensive screening program in place to detect TBI in returning service members. Thus, it is likely that large numbers of mild or moderate cases of TBI are going undetected (note: BIAA advocates legislation which would require DOD to institute immediate pre- and post-deployment cognitive measures as a first step towards comprehensive TBI screening for all service members). Unfortunately, mild TBIs are not necessarily “mild” in effect and can still lead to substantial disability, so the term is a bit misleading. To read more on this, click here.
