ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To examine the use of the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory to measure clinical changes over time in a population of US service members undergoing treatment of mild traumatic brain injury and comorbid psychological health conditions.SETTING:
A 4-week, 8-hour per day, intensive, outpatient, interdisciplinary, comprehensive treatment program at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland.PARTICIPANTS:
Three hundred fourteen active-duty service members being treated for combat-related comorbid mild traumatic brain injury and psychological health conditions.DESIGN:
Repeated-measures, retrospective analysis of a single-group using a pretest-posttest treatment design. MAINMEASURES:
Three Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory scoringmethods:
(1) a total summated score, (2) the 3-factor method, and (3) the 4-factor method (with and without orphan items).RESULTS:
All 3 scoring methods yielded statistically significant within-subject changes between admission and discharge. The evaluation of effect sizes indicated that the 3 different Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory scoring methods were comparable.CONCLUSION:
Findings indicate that the different scoring methods all have potential for assessing clinical changes in symptoms for groups of patients undergoing treatment, with no clear advantage with any one method.
