You’ve probably noticed some changes in your communities over the past several weeks: yellow buses are in the mix of morning commuters; significantly fewer children are out and about during the day; store shelves fill with a myriad of school supplies, only to quickly empty again. Yes, once again, school is back in session; and safety is back on the agenda for parents and educators alike.

Along with many others, I was shocked to learn about the recent death of actress Natasha Richardson. Ms. Richardson fell while taking skiing lessons on a beginner’s slope. Although she hit her head, she reportedly got up from the fall and declined any immediate medical treatment since she didn’t lose consciousness and felt fine. But soon afterward the world learned what we at CDC already knew - even a seemingly minor bump to the head can result in a significant traumatic brain injury.
