TBI Consumer Report: Long-Term Post-TBI Health Problems Mount Sinai Medical Center (page 2 of 2) Page 2 of 2

The importance of this research is that it demonstrates very clear patterns of differences between health symptoms of people with TBI and of a non-disabled comparison group. Because this research is based solely on self-report, no medical tests were available to validate the reported problems. We believe, however, the self-reports, obtained through in-depth individual interviews, validly represent perceptions of people with TBI. In the future, studies that include medical testing are needed to corroborate these findings.

TBI Consumer Report is a publication of the Research and Training Center on Community Integration of Individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury, supported between 1993 and 2004 by Grant No. H133B30038 and H133B980013, to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, New York City, from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, United States Department of Education.
