NARIC news: 

Did you know that NARIC's media and information services team is bilingual? Since 2010, we have provided information and referral services in Spanish and English. We publish our information materials in Spanish, too, like our Librarians Picks and our Research In Focus series. In addition to translating our materials that originate in English, we develop publications specifically to support the information needs of our Spanish-reading patrons. We also translate every issue of News and Notes into Spanish. Visit our Spotlight Podcast to hear interviews in Spanish with Bilingual Information Specialist Marta Garcia about NARIC's services and how we put News and Notes together.

This Just In: 
Depression in older adults 12 months after traumatic brain injury: A TRACK-TBI study Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Volume 103(1), Pgs. 83-89. NARIC Accession Number: J88383.
New to the NARIC collection, this NIDILRR-funded study investigated depression at 12 months after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in adults with mild, moderate, and severe TBI. The results indicated that older adults (age ≥ 65 years) had fewer depressive symptoms compared with younger adults (age < 65 years) regardless of education, sex, race/ethnicity, psychiatric history, substance use, or Glasgow Coma Scale severity. The older adults were also less likely to experience major depression. However, over one-fourth of older adults endorsed symptoms consistent with depression, warranting evaluation and treatment.
