Differential effects of deployment and nondeployment mild TBI on neuropsychological outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs in a deployment environment is characteristically different from mild TBI that occurs outside of deployment. This study evaluated differential and interaction effects of deployment and nondeployment mild TBI on cognitive and behavioral health outcomes. Research Method: Combat veterans (N = 293) who passed performance-validity measures completed the Mid-Atlantic MIRECC Assessment of TBI (MMA-TBI), Clinician-Administered Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Scale (CAPS-5), a neuropsychological assessment battery, and self-report questionnaires. A 2 × 2 × 2 analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to evaluate the main and interaction effects across mild TBI groups and PTSD diagnosis. Results:</
