Our presentation will disscuss a critical gap in the identification and support of individuals with non-medically confirmed TBIs, particularly those who may not access traditional healthcare systems due to systemic barriers or lack of awareness. Our findings underscore the importance of community-based screening and education in improving access to care and long-term outcomes for individuals living with the effects of TBI.

Learning Objectives:

Analyze the demographic and injury-related data collected through the OSU-TBI-ID screening process.
Evaluate the feasibility and potential impact of implementing the OSU-TBI-ID in diverse, non-clinical community environments.
Identify the purpose and design of using the OSU-TBI-ID in community-based settings.
