  • Title: Behavior problems and adaptive functioning in children with mild and severe closed head injury.
    Author: Asarnow RF, Satz P, Light R, Lewis R, Neumann E.
    Journal: J Pediatr Psychol; 1991 Oct; 16(5):543-55. PubMed ID: 1744804.
    Abstract:
    Assessed behavior problems and adaptive functioning in children with mild or severe closed head injuries, on average more than 2 years postaccident. To ensure that any problems detected in the present study were not merely preexisting problems, potential subjects were excluded if there was a history of preexisting CNS damage, significant developmental delay, or behavior problems. Children with severe head injuries had an excessive rate of behavior problems and impaired adaptive functioning. Children with mild head injuries also had an excessive rate of behavior problems (comparable to that of children with severe head injuries) but did not have impaired adaptive functioning. Results are discussed in terms of six alternative ways brain injury and behavior problems can be related functionally.
