Narrative: Neuropsychological Screening of OEF/OIF Veterans in VA Primary Care
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), mental health disorders and deployment have been associated with cognitive
dysfunction which may lead to poor functioning and community reintegration in OEF/OIF veterans. Our long-
term goal is to promote early accurate detection and appropriate triage for postconcussive symptoms in
OEF/OIF veterans to prevent long-term disability. The short-term goal of this proposal is to investigate the
extent to which the VA TBI screening process may fail to detect or accurately identify the source of cognitive
dysfunction and other post-concussive symptoms, limiting VA clinicians' ability to optimally communicate, triage
and provide targeted services for OEF/OIF veterans. We will assess the feasibility of conducting integrated
primary care-based screening for a history of mTBI, postconcussive symptoms using the Neurobehavioral
Symptom Inventory and objective cognitive dysfunction using the brief, computer-administered Automated
Neurocognitive Assessment MetricsTM in conjunction with post-deployment mental health screening.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
