Abstract
Mild TBI (mTBI) contributes 75-90% of all emergency department (ED) cases and produces long-term physical and psychological challenges. More severe TBIs are risk factors for relationship decline, but it is unclear how mTBI impacts relationships. We present a rationale and recruitment statistics from a cohort recruited from an academic ED.
