For older adults, their children, caregivers, and
health care providers, CDC recently developed the
“Help Seniors Live Better, Longer: Prevent Brain
Injury” initiative. Developed in collaboration with
26 organizations, it features easy-to-use English-
and Spanish-language materials in a concise
question-and-answer format to help prevent,
recognize, and respond to TBI. For more information
and materials, visit:
www.cdc.gov/TraumaticBrainInjury/seniors.html.
CDC has also created resources for practitioners and
community-based organizations. “Preventing Falls:
What Works. A CDC Compendium of Effective
Community-based Interventions from Around the World”
and “Preventing Falls: How to Develop Community
Based Fall Prevention Programs for Older Adults” can
be downloaded or ordered at:
