“…As demonstrated here, the BISQ not only meets these minimal requirements but is also relatively brief, easy to administer in a wide range of settings and populations, has good construct validity and criterion validity, 40,43,68,69 and appears to be more sensitive to comprehensive TBI history than many existing measures. 56,57,59,87 The BISQ is not without limitations, and other tools may be more appropriate in some settings. A report on a subset of results of large-scale expansion of the initial BISQ validation study 63 is currently under review.…”

Objective To provide an overview of a series of projects that used a structured self-report screening tool in diverse settings and samples to screen for lifetime history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Setting Diverse community settings. Participants Homeless persons (n = 111), individuals with HIV seeking vocational rehabilitation (n = 173), youth in the juvenile justice system (n = 271), public schoolchildren (n = 174), substance users (n = 845), intercollegiate athletes (n = 90), and other community-based samples (n = 396). Design Cross-sectional. Main Measure Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire. Results Screening using the Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire finds that 27% to 54% of those in high-risk populations report a history of TBI with chronic symptoms. Associations between TBI and social, academic, or other problems are evident in several studies. In non–high-risk community samples, 9% to 12% of individuals report TBI with chronic symptoms. Conclusion Systematic TBI screening can be implemented efficiently and inexpensively in a variety of settings. Lifetime TBI history data gathered using a structured self-report instrument can augment existing estimates of the prevalence of TBI, both as an acute event and as a chronic condition. Identification of individuals with TBI can facilitate primary prevention efforts, such as reducing risk for reinjury in high-risk groups, and provide access to appropriate interventions that can reduce the personal and societal costs of TBI (tertiary prevention).

“…Twenty-five symptom items are considered to be sensitive and specific on the basis of normative data from a sample of 410 individuals with mild and moderate to severe injury. 31 The Brain Injury Screening Questionnaire has been validated with 75 community-dwelling adults with mild to severe injury 32 and has been used with children, 33 individuals accessing substance abuse services 34 and collegiate athletes. 35 However, it has yet to be validated in a homeless shelter setting.…”

Traumatic brain injury among men in an urban homeless shelter: observational study of rates and mechanisms of injury

et al. 2014

Multiple mechanisms contributed to high rates of traumatic brain injury within a sample of homeless men. Assault was the most common mechanism, with sports and recreation, motor vehicle collisions and falls also being reported frequently by the participants. Injury commonly predated the onset of homelessness, with most participants experiencing their first injury in childhood. Additional research is needed to understand the complex interactions among homelessness, traumatic brain injury, mental illness and substance use.
