Volume 86: Coping with Blast-Related Traumatic Brain Injury in Returning Troops
Abstract

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) is a common injury from combat. Detecting persistent symptoms is important in the care for returning service members. Retrospective self-reports were collected in a sample of 63 U.S. Navy Sailors who served a tour in Iraq while engaged in a high-risk mission for blast exposure. The sample fell into three injury exposure categories: no-injury (n = 17), blast only (n = 40), and blast plus blow-to-the-head (n = 6). Consistent with expectations, blast plus blow exposure resulted in greater symptom prevalence within category.
