We have just completed our first review report on mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) in Service Personnel.
This report analyses:
-the definition and classification of the condition.
-its prevalence rates, specifically in relation to the US, the UK and Canada.
-its markers and long-term consequences.
-its comorbidity with other disorders.
-approaches towards treatment.
The report can be accessed here: https://hvrtmacveteranshealthdotorg.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/mtbi-report.pdf
Do get in touch if you would like any further information or if you have any questions.Hello,

Thank you
