Abstract

Consensus Conclusions and Call to Action

• TBI care in the United States often fails to meet the needs of individuals, families, and communities affected by this condition.
• High-quality care for TBI requires that it be managed as a condition with both acute and long-term phases.
• Public and professional misunderstandings are widespread with respect to the frequency; manifestations; long-tern consequences; and proper detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of TBI.
• The United States lacks a comprehensive framework for addressing TBI.
• Health Disparity issues should be taken into consideration.
