You should be able to find a suitable group somewhere in this list;

I wonder how prevalent undiagnosed and untreated TBI is in the civilian population at-large. It seems this is another area where testing and treatment borne of military necessity can help the medical field in general.

Thanks, CYD. I'll dig through when I get home.

I think that you're right on undiagnosed injury in civilians as well, but I suspect that the rates are actually lower, since civilians aren't generally exposed to repeated explosive shock waves (I'm making an assumption that if you're deployed in a battle zone, you get exposed to explosive forces on a somewhat frequent basis). But, if you do any time in medicine you'll see people with lasting effects from car accidents and other head strikes.
