Résumé

The purpose of this study was to extend previous research by examining the relationship between lifetime blast exposure and neurobehavioral functioning after mild TBI (MTBI) by (a) using a comprehensive measure of lifetime blast exposure, and (b) controlling for the influence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Participants were 103 United States service members and veterans (SMVs) with a medically documented diagnosis of MTBI, recruited from three military treatment facilities (74.8%) and community-based recruitment initiatives (25.2%, e.g., social media, flyers). Participants completed a battery of neurobehavioral measures 12 or more months post-injury (Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory, PTSD-Checklist PCLC, TBI-Quality of Life), including the Blast Exposure Threshold Survey (BETS). The sample was classified into two lifetime blast exposure (LBE) groups: High (
