N2  - <p>Traumatic brain injury (TBI) among adolescents has been identified as an important health priority. However, studies of TBI among adolescents in large representative samples are lacking.This information is important to the planning and evaluation of injury prevention efforts, particularly because even minor TBI may have important adverse consequences.    We describe the prevalence of TBI, the mechanisms of injury, and adverse correlates in a large representative sample of adolescents living in Ontario, Canada.</p>  <p>Language: en</p>
