Expressing support for the designation of January 30, 2025, as CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and RHI (repeated head impacts) Awareness Day.
This resolution (HRES 72) expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating January 30, 2025, as "CTE and RHI Awareness Day." It aims to raise public awareness about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and repeated head impacts (RHI), which are linked to brain damage from head injuries - commonly affecting athletes, military veterans, and others with exposure to repeated head trauma. The resolution encourages the CDC and NIH to share information on CTE/RHI in public education materials and recognizes researchers, patients, and families impacted by these conditions. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or policies but promotes public education and reflection on these health issues.
