The current data provide preliminary support for perceived discrimination as an important factor in neurobehavioral and psychosocial health, but not cognitive performance, after TBI. These relationships appear to be driven by daily experiences of discriminatory treatment versus single major instances of injustice. Measured outcomes may also reflect socioeconomic challenges and structural discrimination faced by diverse PwTBI, although more work in this area is urgently needed. Multiple sources of marginalization and disenfranchisement and their functional effects should be considered in TBI rehabilitation and outcome monitoring.
