Publication Database
Welcome to our Publication Database! For the last 15 years, the Boston University CTE Center has made great progress in CTE research and published many papers on CTE and those affected by it, including athletes, military personnel, and victims of domestic violence. Please check back soon – we are continuously adding papers and will soon have a complete list of our publications below.
