The analysis of data regarding incidence of traumatic and acquired brain and spinal injury is critical to the planning efforts of the Traumatic Brain Injury Trust Fund Board of Directors and the Cabinet of Health and Family Services, as these entities work to develop and refine services for children and adults. These reports are also highly significant for the planning and development of prevention efforts in the Commonwealth. The data will assist in planning future efforts in prevention, treatment, and service delivery.
