N2  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on psychosocial outcomes in older adults with TBI and identify factors associated with positive outcomes in this population. INTRODUCTION: Rates of TBI in older adults have increased in recent years. Little is known regarding the factors and cohort specific characteristics that contribute to long-term healthy psychosocial functioning in this population. METHODS: Review of literature. RESULTS: A multitude of factors that impact psychosocial outcomes are discussed, including injury characteristics, individual characteristics, aging and cohort issues, and external environmental factors. CONCLUSIONS: There is limited research examining psychosocial functioning in older adults who have sustained a TBI. Recommendations to guide clinical care and future research are provided.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
