Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern. Such injuries often result in dramatic changes in the individual's life-course due to the associated complex co-morbidities. Limited research exists on the use and expenditures incurred for behavioural healthcare services post-TBI. This study examined predictors of behavioural service use, incarceration and associated expenditures for individuals with TBI.
