520    "Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered a signature 
       injury of modern warfare, though TBIs can also result from
       training accidents, falls, sports, and motor vehicle 
       accidents. Among service members diagnosed with a TBI, the
       majority of cases are mild TBIs (mTBI), also known as 
       concussions. Many of these service members receive care 
       through the Military Health System, but the amount, type, 
       and quality of care they receive has been largely unknown.
       A RAND study, the first to examine the mTBI care of a 
       census of patients in the Military Health System, assessed
       the number and characteristics (including deployment 
       history and history of TBI) of nondeployed, active -duty 
       service members who received an mTBI diagnosis in 2012, 
       the locations of their diagnoses and next health care 
       visits, the types of care they received in the six months 
       following their mTBI diagnosis, co-occurring conditions, 
       and the duration of their treatment. While the majority of
       service members with mTBI recover quickly, the study 
       further examined a subset of service members with mTBI who
       recieved care for longer than three months following their
       diagnosis. Diagnosing and treating mTBI can be especially 
       challenging because of variations in symptoms and other 
       factors. The research revealed inconsistencies in the 
       diagnostic coding, as well as areas for improvement in 
       coordinating care across providers and care settings. The 
       results and recommendations provide a foundation to guide 
       future clinical studies to improve the quality of care and
       subsequent outcomes for service members diagnosed with 
       mTBI." --Back cover.
