Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health problem, afflicting millions
of people worldwide. Despite increasing awareness of its burden on patients,
families, and society, much remains unknown regarding TBI incidence, how best to
assess outcomes post-injury, and the most effective means of providing
rehabilitation services. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently
published recommendations to Congress that address these critical knowledge gaps.
The report is the end product of work completed by a notable panel of experts and
stakeholders that makes overarching recommendations aimed at addressing knowledge
gaps in TBI, with the ultimate goal of decreasing injury occurrence and improving
outcomes. It is a succinct and powerful report that should serve as a call to
action to fund innovative research and reverse a trend in health care that
restricts access to rehabilitation services.
