Show/Hide Abstract

Abstract: This report summarizes the findings of a cognitive interview study to test questions on traumatic brain injury (TBI) for the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. There were an estimated 2.2 million Emergency Department (ED) visits, 280,000 hospitalizations, and 50,000 deaths attributed to TBI in 2010 (Bell, Breiding & DePadilla, 2017). However, these figures are based on healthcare administrative data that only capture a portion of the true incidence of TBI (Taylor, Greenspan et al. 2015). Therefore, it is the goal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a comprehensive mechanism to measure the true prevalence of TBIs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate questions on TBI as part of the development of an instrument intended to collect data on TBI occurrence, symptoms and co-occurrence.
