• Description:
  CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control funds 10 Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs). These centers study ways to prevent injuries and violence and work with community partners to put research findings into action. ; Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) contribute to about 30% of all injury deaths. Every day, 153 people in the United States die from injuries that include a TBI. People who survive a TBI can face effects that last a few days, or the rest of their lives. TBIs can cause impaired thinking or memory, movement, sensation (such as vision or hearing), or emotional functioning (such as personality changes or depression). These issues not only affect individuals but can have lasting effects on families and communities. ; ICRC_TBI_Topic-Brief-508.pdf
