Screening for TBI among individuals that experience DV can potentially reduce the physical, behavioral, and cognitive consequences of a TBI by identifying those individuals that require more extensive medical care. Individuals living with DV may find it difficult to recover from a TBI. The high probability of recurrent physical injuries without any medical intervention facilitates a situation where individuals are more likely to experience severe TBI-related symptoms over a prolonged period. Screening for TBI among victims of DV is essential. A brief assessment tool designed to be used by professionals who are not TBI experts is known as HELPS Screening Tool.
