It is not clear how best to address assessment and treatment when someone reports lingering symptoms of PCS. One self-report measure used by the VA and the DoD is the Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), but this measure may be affected by underlying psychiatric symptoms. We investigated whether the NSI is sensitive to mTBI after considering a number of psychiatric and demographic factors. Methods: This study examined which factors are associated with NSI scores in a Veteran sample (n\u00a0=\u00a0741) that had recently returned from deployment. Results: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression accounted for most of the variance on the NSI. Although history of mTBI was initially related to NSI, this association was no longer significant after other covariates were considered. Conclusions: The NSI score was primarily explained by symptoms of PTSD and depression, suggesting that the NSI is not specific to the experience of a brain injury. We recommend cautious interpretation when this measure is used in the chronic phase after mTBI, especially among patients with comorbid depression or PTSD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/usz193","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,3]],"date-time":"2019-09-03T20:38:08Z","timestamp":1567543088000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Interaction
