ABSTRACT

This longitudinal prospective cohort study examined participation between 6 months and 1.5 years after pediatric mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) in 68 children aged 6-18 years. Levels of participation in different settings remain mostly stable between 6 months and 1.5 years after mTBI, with a substantial proportion of children continuing to indicate less than full functioning. Future studies should examine risk factors and opportunities for early identification to prevent long-term negative consequences of pediatric mTBI regarding participation.
