Background and Significance alinanovikova https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371070051 Traumatic brain injury (TBI) happens when a bump, blow, jolt, or other head injury causes damage to the brain. Every year, millions of people in the U.S. suffer brain injuries. The worst injuries can lead to permanent brain damage or death. Half of all TBIs are from motor vehicle accidents. Symptoms of a TBI may not appear until days or weeks following the injury. A concussion is the mildest type. It can cause a headache or neck pain, nausea, ringing in the ears, dizziness, and tiredness.]]> 2019-07-14 05:59:27 UTC https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371070051 2. TBIs and Injuries alinanovikova https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371070229 2019-07-14 06:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371070229 3. Strategies alinanovikova https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371070278 You Can Prevent Traumatic Brain Injury 
  1. Buckle Up Every Ride – Wear a seat belt every time you drive – or ride – in a motor vehicle.
  2. Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  3. Wear a helmet, or appropriate headgear, when you or your children:
  4. Ride a bike, motorcycle, snowmobile, scooter, or use an all-terrain vehicle;
  5. Play a contact sport, such as football, ice hockey, or boxing;

The Traumatic Brain Injury Program Reauthorization Act of 2018 was signed into law on December 21, 2018. This bill directs CDC to implement a National Concussion Surveillance System.

The National Concussion Surveillance System alinanovikova https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371070750 The National Concussion Surveillance System will enable CDC to accurately determine how many Americans (children and adults) get a concussion each year and how the injury occurred. In addition, the results of a full-scale national system such as this would inform and equip leaders within communities, states, and across the country by: 
  1. Providing the first national estimates of the number of sports-related concussion among youth that occur both in and outside of organized sports; 
  2. Monitoring trends to understand whether the number of concussions is increasing or decreasing, and assessing the effectiveness of prevention efforts; 
  3. Giving insight to health care providers and hospitals about where patients are seeking care for concussion and recovery needs; and 
  4. Creating, for the first time ever, true national estimates of the number of people living with a disability caused by a brain injury.

Communication Technology to Improve Health outcomes alinanovikova https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371071073 Children have the highest rate of emergency department visits for traumatic brain (TBI) injury of all age groups. TBI affects children differently than adults. An injury of any severity to the developing brain can disrupt a child’s development, and may result in restrictions in school and participation in activities (e.g., sports).  As a result of TBI, children can experience changes in their health, thinking, and behavior that affect learning, self-regulation, and social participation, all of which are important in becoming a productive adult.]]> 2019-07-14 06:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371071073 7. TBI-related Emergency Department Visits, Hospitalizations, and Deaths alinanovikova https://padlet.com/alinanovikova/oip5jlrfiqhy/wish/371071239 In 2014, there were approximately 2.87 million TBI-EDHDs in the United States, including over 837,000 occurring among children. This includes:
  • Approximately 2.53 million TBI-related ED visits, including over 812,00 occurring among children.
  • Approximately 288,000 TBI-related hospitalizations, including over 23,000 occurring among children.
  • 56,800 TBI-related deaths, including 2,529 occurring among children.
