Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates a resource provision program for individuals with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), analyzing how resource access varies based on social factors like language, birth origin, and neighborhood conditions.
- Conducted within New York City's Rusk Rehabilitation TBI Model System, the observational study included 143 participants and utilized nonparametric analyses to explore the frequency of resource distribution.
- Findings show that US-born individuals and those from medically underserved neighborhoods receive more support than immigrants or those from well-serviced areas, highlighting the need for improved resource access for vulnerable populations affected by social health determinants.
Objective: To develop an MMPI-2-RF reference group for persistently symptomatic patients with mTBI in order to aid interpretation and better evaluate atypical scale elevations.
Method: Using the Q Local MMPI-2-RF Comparison Group Generator (CGG), 200 valid MMPI-2-RF profiles were aggregated for mTBI outpatients with persisting symptoms 2-24 months post injury.
Results: Compared to established MMPI general population norms, individuals with persisting symptoms demonstrated elevations on several scales, primarily in cognitive and somatic domains.
