Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain injuries, ranging from concussions to moderate/severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), pose a significant threat to the health of children and adolescents both in the United States and globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classify childhood TBI as the leading cause of death and acquired disability in children, with an estimated 700,000 childhood TBI cases every year in the United States.
In line with IJERPH’s mission to promote interdisciplinary research in the environmental health sciences and public health, the goal of this Special Issue is to highlight innovative research advances in the field of pediatric brain injury. For the purpose of this call, we are interested in research examining epidemiology, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. We are also interested in research that utilizes innovative methodologies and cutting-edge technologies to evaluate and/or promote health outcomes following childhood brain injuries.
Submissions could take various forms, including prospective studies, retrospective data analyses, meta-analytic, systematic, or narrative reviews, topical reviews, or commentaries. However, all submissions should revolve around the central theme in innovative child brain injury research for this Special Issue.
