A compelling study from Kessler Foundation and its partners in the Northern New Jersey Traumatic Brain Injury Model System investigates how nativity—whether a Hispanic individual with TBI was born in the U.S. or abroad—affects their ability to engage in work, education, or volunteer activities. With 706 participants from diverse backgrounds, the research reveals that productivity after TBI is not just about where someone was born, but also about where they live and the language spoken in their community.

In this episode of Real-Life Science, we explore these findings and their valuable takeaways for caregivers, clinicians, and anyone impacted by TBI, emphasizing the role of community, language, and support in recovery.
