Effect of Race and Nativity on Functional Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury Among Asian, Hispanic, and Non-Hispanic White Survivors in the United States: A NIDILRR TBI Model Systems Study

Conclusions: This study reveals racial/ethnic disparities post-TBI functional recovery. Despite lower injury severity and apparent financial resource advantages, Asians did not experience better functional outcomes. Although the effect of nativity was not established in this study, contextual factors related to ethnicity and immigration experiences should be further investigated.
