CDC’s newest Report to Congress outlines current gaps in traumatic brain injury care, and provides clear opportunities for action to improve the management and outcomes of TBI in children. The report also details the impact a TBI can have on children and their families. While the report focuses on some of the gaps that exist with regard to the management of TBIs among children and youth, the promising news is that there are concrete steps that can be taken to improve the care for children following a TBI. Efforts to recognize, monitor, and care for children over time can improve outcomes as children transition to adulthood.
