Association Between Racial Marginalization with Direct Healthcare Expenditure, Time at Home and Rehabilitation Access Following Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Recognizing the limitations of area-level indices, our findings suggest equitable care delivery in a publicly funded universal care environment.
