Factor analysis of the Personality Assessment Inventory in service members with traumatic brain injury.

Primary Objective: To identify the factor structure of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) clinical scales for military service members with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Research Design: Retrospective analysis of existing data base.

Methods And Procedures: The sample included 210 service members with TBI who completed the PAI as part of a neuropsychological evaluation at a military TBI clinic.

Cross-sectional study of major procedure codes among hospitalized patients with traumatic brain injury by level of injury severity in the 2004 to 2014 Nationwide Inpatient Sample.

Despite its public health significance, TBI management across US healthcare institutions and patient characteristics with an emphasis on utilization and outcomes of TBI-specific procedures have not been evaluated at the national level.We aimed to characterize top 10 procedure codes among hospitalized adults with TBI as primary diagnosis by injury severity.A Cross-sectional study was conducted using 546, 548 hospitalization records from the 2004 to 2014 Nationwide Inpatient Sample were analyzed.

Two latent classes of diagnostic and treatment procedures among traumatic brain injury inpatients.

To characterize latent classes of diagnostic and/or treatment procedures among hospitalized U.S. adults, 18-64 years, with primary diagnosis of TBI from 2004-2014 Nationwide Inpatient Samples, latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to 10 procedure groups and differences between latent classes on injury, patient, hospital and healthcare utilization outcome characteristics were modeled using multivariable regression.

Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum and Early Employment-Related Experiences: Aspirations and Obstacles.

In the United States, employment outcomes for young adults with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are poor, with many unemployed, underemployed, or otherwise unable to achieve their potential regardless of cognitive ability. To explore employment expectations and experiences, qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 young adults with ASD and 28 parents. Transcripts were analyzed using the constant comparative method associated with a grounded theory approach.

Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum: The Struggle for Appropriate Services.

In the United States, young adults with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) lose federally mandated supports upon leaving high school. To arrange adult services, families must prove their young adult's eligibility and find competent service providers. National-level statistics regarding receipt of appropriate adult services are discouraging, but little is known about families' lived experience with regard to services.

Young Adults on the Autism Spectrum at College: Successes and Stumbling Blocks.

There is limited information on outcomes for young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including achievement at college. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 families reporting a degree-seeking college experience for their young adult with ASD. Interview transcripts were analyzed using a grounded theory approach.
