“…While participants who con sented to the study were assured of confidentiality, the validity of self reports has not been determined. Nonethe less, this study's findings of mental health and other problems associated with self-reported head injury are con sistent with other brain injury studies (Nixon 1999;Fogle 1994;Miller 1992;Boyle, Ve lla & Moloney 1991).…”

“…The high prevalence of drug and alcohol problems among traumatically brain injured individuals suggests that drug abusers might be at high risk for brain injury and vice versa. Also, drug or alcohol use prior to brain injury can contrib ute to severity as measured both by coma ratings and by neuropsychological measures (Kelly et al 1997;Miller 1992;Solomon & Sparadeo 1992;Sparadeo, Strauss & Kapsalis 1992;Sparadeo & Gi11 1989). In addition, psychoactive drug use has been associated with permanent changes to cere bral blood flow and these changes can produce damage to neural structures (Amen et al 1997;Strickland & Mena 1993).…”

“…Of patients with a history of closed-head injury, 91% had a substance abuse diagnosis. This finding is consistent with epidemiological data showing that substance abuse is associated with elevated rates of head injury (Kreutzer et al, 1995;Miller, 1992;Solomon & Malloy, 1992). Alcohol use and drug use have been implicated as causal factors in at least 50% of traumatic injuries (cited in Kreutzer et al, 1995).…”

“…More specifically, in mild TBI cases, neuropsychologists are asked to confirm the presence or absence of brain damage as well as to "provide information relating to the cause, nature and extent of the litigant's health condition" (Taylor 1999, p. 434). If a brain injury is present, the task for the neuropsychological expert is to articulate in comprehensible terms whether the patient's real-world functioning has been altered by the brain injury and, if so, what rehabilitation efforts might be potentially helpful to remediate these effects (Miller 1992).…”
