Evaluation of Head Trauma

  • Chapter
Neuropsychology

Part of the book series: Human Brain Function ((HBFA))

Abstract

Head trauma is a widespread, major public health problem often characterized as a silent epidemic. More than 2 million head injuries occur each year in the United States, about one every 15 seconds (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke [NINDS], 1989; National Head Injury Foundation [NHIF], 1993). Most head injuries (50%–86%) are classified as mild. Overall incidence rates range from 132 to 367 per 100,000, with an average incidence of 200 per 100,000 across population-based studies in the 1970s and 1980s (Sorenson & Kraus, 1991). This rate is comparable to that estimated for other countries (Gronwall, Wrightson, & Waddell, 1990).
