The purpose of this study was to explore the utility of the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) as an independent measure of anxiety symptoms among Division II collegiate athletes (n = 568) during baseline concussion assessments, which also included the post-concussion symptom scale (PCSS) and a measure of depression, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). While only 31 athletes (5.5%) fell above the established GAD-7 cutoff score of 5 or more, a sizable proportion of them (13 or 41.9%) endorsed 0 items on the PCSS affective symptom cluster. Additionally, ∼2% of athletes reported elevated symptoms of anxiety but not depression. These findings support the incorporation of a brief stand-alone anxiety screening tool during concussion baseline evaluations to ensure better detection of student athletes with elevated anxiety symptoms who might otherwise be overlooked, so they may be referred for further diagnostic assessment.","PeriodicalId":50741,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142250847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike existing scales, the SRSI includes genuine and pseudosymptoms scales covering cognitive, affective, motor, pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder domains. The present study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the Italian Version of the SRSI (SRSI-It), in particular, its factor structure, reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, and diagnostic accuracy. Data from 1180 healthy participants showed a hierarchical structure with higher-order constructs for genuine symptoms and pseudosymptoms, each comprising five subscales. The SRSI-It showed a strong convergent validity with the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology and discriminant validity through low correlations with the Psychopathic Personality Inventory-Revised. Receiver operating characteristic analysis determined cut scores of 6 (95% specificity) and 9 (98% specificity) for pseudosymptoms, with a Ratio Index score of 0.289 (82% specificity). In summary, the SRSI-It appears to be a promising tool for identifying symptom exaggeration in clinical and forensic contexts, ultimately enhancing the quality and reliability of evaluations in these contexts.","PeriodicalId":50741,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cross-sectional study examined associations of PTSD and lifetime mTBI with <i>subjective</i> (persistent symptoms after concussion and cognitive complaints) and <i>objective</i> (performances across five cognitive domains) measures among 46 veterans. Within this sample, 20 veterans had <i>Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5)</i> confirmed PTSD (PTSD+), whereas 26 demographically-similar participants did not meet criteria (PTSD-). The <i>Boston Assessment of Traumatic Brain Injury-Lifetime (BAT-L)</i> yielded total mTBI scores ranging from 0 to 8.

Lifetime mTBI burden was associated with subjective symptoms, but not with objective cognitive test performance, after controlling for PTSD. No significant interactions were observed. Exploratory correlations suggested that all PTSD symptom clusters were generally associated with the subjective and objective measures. However, fewer significant associations emerged within the PTSD+/- groups separately, with each group yielding somewhat different patterns of relationships. PTSD and increasing mTBI burden are consistently associated with negative subjective symptoms, including cognitive complaints.
