Traumatic brain injury and abuse among female offenders compared to non-incarcerated controls.

CONCLUSION: This is the first European study to examine combined TBI and abse among an exclusively female offender population. It suggests that TBI is as prevalent among incarcerated females as it is among males. The unique presentation of female offenders must be acknowledged if effective rehabilitation programs are to be implemented. PMID: 30373402 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
