Abstract
The study by Hoge and colleagues in this issue of the Journal provides an important profile of the sequelae of mild traumatic brain injury in military personnel after combat.1 The findings demonstrate that mild traumatic brain injury results in increased rates of psychological, health, and functional problems. Although the study provides strong evidence for impairments in military personnel serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, it also raises a number of critical questions concerning the impairments that may be attributed to mild traumatic brain injury.Keywords
