The U.S. military has been involved in conflicts since 2001 in the Middle East; resulting in an increase of Service members and Veterans reintegrating with their families after experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study examined the impact of a Service member or Veteran's traumatic brain injury on the health and behavior of his or her children. Results showed that a significant number of the children of Service members or Veterans diagnosed with a TBI experienced a decrease in overall health in five domains: School grades, behavior, medical health, emotional health, and social participation).
