March is recognized as Brain Injury Awareness Month, an important time to raise awareness about the causes, effects, and prevention of brain injuries. A brain injury is an injury that occurs when the brain is damaged due to a blow to the head or other trauma. Brain injuries can be mild, such as a concussion, or severe, such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traumatic brain injuries are a major cause of death and disability in the United States, with approximately 2.8 million people experiencing a TBI annually. The CDC identified TBIs as a major cause of death and disability in the United States, reporting an average of 611 TBI-related hospitalizations and 176 TBI-related deaths per day.
