Longitudinal Health Care Utilization by Active Duty Service Members with a First Diagnosis of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a frequent cause of injury to active duty service members (SMs). Studies of veterans with mTBI, with or without comorbid psychiatric disorders, reveal increased health care utilization after injury, but few studies exist of health care utilization by active duty SMs following an m TBI. This dissertation is a comprehensive analysis of short-term and long-term health care utilization by a large sample of active duty SMs prior to and following a first diagnosis of mTBI.
