Objectives: (1) to determine differences between minorities vs. non-minorities on demographic, injury and rehabilitation characteristics and functional outcomes at admission, discharge and 1-year post-injury and (2) to examine differences in functional outcome at 1-year post-injury among (African-Americans, Hispanics and Whites). Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Longitudinal data were extracted from the TBI Model Systems database. Participants: 4929 individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI…

Neurobehavioural symptoms 1 year after traumatic brain injury: A preliminary study of the relationship between race/ethnicity and symptoms
Objective: To investigate whether White, African American and Hispanic individuals with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) express differences in neurobehavioural symptoms at 1 year post-injury after…
Racial differences in employment outcomes after traumatic brain injury.
Race/Ethnicity and Retention in Traumatic Brain Injury Outcomes Research: A Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems National Database Study
TLDR
Investigation of retention rates separately for blacks and Hispanics rather than combining them or grouping either with other races or ethnicities suggests the need for implementing procedures to increase retention of Hispanics in longitudinal TBI research.
Race/ethnicity differences in satisfaction with life among persons with traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
African Americans have poorer self-reported life satisfaction than Caucasians and Asians one year after TBI, not due to pre-injury marital or employment status, cause of injury, nor injury severity or functional status.
Differences in employment outcomes 10 years after traumatic brain injury among racial and ethnic minority groups
TLDR
This study supports previous research illustrating that compared to whites, employment is less promising for minorities after TBI both short and long term.
Do racial/ethnic differences exist in post-injury outcomes after TBI? A comprehensive review of the literature
TLDR
The racial and ethnic differences noted in this literature review are an indicator that minorities are at disproportionate risk for poorer outcomes and post-acute interventions should specifically target minorities to diminish inequities that exist.
Racial Differences in Discharge Location After a Traumatic Brain Injury Among Older Adults.
Primary Language and Participation Outcomes in Hispanics With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems Study
TLDR
Hispanic persons with TBI whose primary language is Spanish may require greater assistance integrating socially back into their communities after TBI, however, potential cultural differences in value placed on various social activities must be considered.
Race and insurance disparities in discharge to rehabilitation for patients with traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
Race and insurance are strong predictors of discharge to rehabilitation among adult TBI survivors in the United States and efforts are needed to understand and eliminate disparities in access to rehabilitation after TBI.
Insurance status and race affect treatment and outcome of traumatic brain injury.

Community Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury: Impact of Race and Preinjury Status
TLDR
Whites and African Americans who are comparable prior to injury may experience generally similar outcomes, but differences in social and financial outcomes require further investigation.
Impact of Minority Status on Functional Outcome and Community Integration Following Traumatic Brain Injury
TLDR
Although minority status does not negatively impact recovery of basic mobility and daily living skills, it may impact long-term outcome related to community integration as measured by productivity and social integration.
Functional outcome for African Americans and Hispanics treated at a traumatic brain injury model systems centre.
TLDR
This descriptive analysis supports the need for further investigation of minority populations that sustain TBI and will enhance the accuracy of implications that minority status may have on functional outcome.

Race and Productivity Outcome After Traumatic Brain Injury: Influence of Confounding Factors
TLDR
Any effect of race on productivity is significantly influenced by confounding with preinjury productivity, education level, and cause of injury.
Perception of Health and Quality of Life in Minorities After Mild-to-Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury
TLDR
Differences in perception of health functioning by race for mental and physical functioning may be related to the unique interaction created between sustaining an MTBI and variations in cultural expression of disability.
Violent traumatic brain injury: occurrence, patient characteristics, and risk factors from the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems project.
TLDR
The occurrence of violent TBI in the TBIMS project is consistent with national trends of decreasing incidence of violent injuries in the 1990s and the relative risks for sustaining such an injury appear to be well defined when considering demographic and temporal factors.
Moderating Factors in Return to Work and Job Stability After Traumatic Brain Injury
TLDR
Data analysis provided evidence that employment stability is predictable with a combination of functional, demographic, and injury severity variables and Identification of people at risk for poor employment outcomes early on can facilitate rehabilitation planning and intervention.
Validity and sensitivity to change of the extended Glasgow Outcome Scale in mild to moderate traumatic brain injury.
TLDR
Analysis of the outcome data for patients who completed both the 3-month and 6-month assessments disclosed that the GOSE was more sensitive to change than the GOS, lending further support for utilization of the Gose in clinical trials when it is based on a structured interview.
