A new AARP Research survey among adults 18 and older explores their familiarity and experiences with TBI.
TBI, while serious, is relatively uncommon.
Meanwhile, they are less concerned about getting a TBI from a fall despite falls being a leading cause.
The report suggests that the connection between falling and TBI may not be well understood.
The report concludes that it may be prudent to target men with more information on TBI.
More adults from multicultural communities are worried about getting a TBI from a fall or from a car wreck.
Adults are generally interested in learning how to reduce risk, but interest varies by some demographic characteristics.
