Traumatic Brain Injury-Related ED Visit Rate

Select a County

Measurement Period: 2019

This indicator shows the age-adjusted number of emergency department visits for nonfatal traumatic brain injury per 100,000 people.

Why is this important?

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. TBIs can be caused by falls, motor vehicle crashes, intentional self-harm and other preventable events. TBIs range in severity from mild to severe and may results in disability or death. Some of the easiest ways to prevent TBIs include the use of seat belts, child safety seats, helmets, and additional protective gear. Additionally, creating a safer living area by removing tripping hazards, improving lighting, and using non-slip bath mats can also help prevent TBIs.
