... RESEARCH PRIORITY-SETTING EFFORTS The diversity of the TBI research landscape mirrors the diversity of populations impacted by TBI, from military personnel (Veterans, active duty military personnel, cadets and military trainees) , to athletes (professional, collegiate, student, youth)
From page 180...
... Other TBI initiatives address crosscutting issues and include all or more than one of these population groups. For instance, the needs of athletes and their coaches to assess potential TBI in high-pressure scenarios share some similarities with the needs of military medical staff assessing potential TBI in combat; the challenges of mild TBI are of similar significance in civilian and military settings; the study of TBI among aging Veterans may offer insights into the impacts of TBI among aging civilians; and novel advances in classification and measurement could improve the sensitivity of all TBI research, while efforts to promote data interoperability similarly affect all research settings.
