Long-Term Attention Problems After Brain Trauma

Abstract

Parent ratings of attention problems were obtained at long-term follow-up (average 4 years) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and compared with ratings of premorbid attention problems shortly after injury, in a study of 132 children (ages 6-12 years) at the Ohio State University and Columbus Children's Research Institute and other centers.
