: Traumatic Brain Injury Law BlogViolence and Traumatic Brain Injury
By Bruce Stern
I was pleased to receive this month’s issue of the Brain Injury Professional, The Official Publication of the North America Brain Injury Society. This issue focuses on the important subject of violence and traumatic brain injury.
The guest editor this month is Gene Langlois, ScD, MPH, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As stated by Dr. Ron Savage, Executive Vice President, “Our current data are frightening. Estimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend per year (US Dept. of Justice), to 3,000,000 women who are physically abused by their husbands or boyfriends per year. According to Dr. Langlois, 11% of TBI deaths, hospitalizations and emergency room visits are related to physical violence.
This is a very important issue and I invite all of my readers to obtain a copy and to join NABIS.
