The rate of central nervous system (CNS) injuries, particularly traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI), in New Jersey is much higher than the national rate. CSHP research staff are examining the reasons surrounding the state's high rates of TBI and SCI injuries using the NJ TBI and SCI surveillance system and will discuss issues that are salient to the prevention of these types of injuries.
