  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) prevention programs aim to reduce trauma-related head injuries across the United States. In addition to epidemiological challenges, patients with TBI have a greater burden of disease and worse health outcomes than the general population. In these circumstances, the prevention of TBI is an important element in reducing the occurrence of post-traumatic health consequences in all settings and beyond. We completed a high-quality overview of TBI prevention programs using the public health approach to identify the most compelling risks to individuals through surveillance, data analysis, and field assessment. We explored the evidence-based programs that are proven to help individuals reduce the risk of TBI. To date, TBI programs have been very efficient, as evidenced by a sustained downturn in TBI incidence. However, recent socioeconomic and epidemiological challenges in the United States are affecting state and local TBI prevention efforts. This article is focused on strategies and solutions to reduce risks and/or consequences associated with head injuries from motor vehicle accidents in New York City. We believe this report is essential to guide the design and implementation of adequate preventive strategies and providing safe and high-quality patient care across all settings where healthcare is delivered.
