TBI is a major public health problem as well as a major cause of epilepsy. If primary prevention is to be undertaken, we must understand the epidemiology of the condition. The primary causes of TBI vary by age, socioeconomic factors, and geographic region, so any planned interventions must be tailored accordingly.
