Changing the Narrative: Proceedings of a Summit on Advancing Precision in Health Assessment
In April 2024, over 20 scientists, clinicians, and experts in health equity convened in Denver, Colorado, for an interdisciplinary Summit on Advancing Precision in Health Assessment. The Summit was hosted by the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) with an aim to develop a pathway to identify, assess, and implement alternatives to broad proxies, such as race and sex/gender, in health assessments. Presentations and breakout group discussions …
Examining Associations Between Intimate Partner Violence-Related Brain Injury, Psychological Abuse, and Cognitive Functioning in Community Women
Some of the women in the community who experienced physical and psychological IPV years ago obtained cognitive test scores that were lower than expected. There was a weak association between a greater number of IPV-related mild BIs and a measure of visual memory. Unexpectedly, we found that greater psychological abuse severity was associated with faster complex reaction time. Also, at high severity of psychological abuse, women tended to score wo…
The Impact of a Recent Concussion on College-Aged Individuals with Co-Occurring Anxiety: A Qualitative Investigation
College-aged individuals with anxiety are vulnerable to developing persistent concussion symptoms, yet evidence-based treatments for this population are limited. Understanding these individuals' perspectives is critical for developing effective interventions. We conducted qualitative interviews with 17 college-aged individuals (18-24 years old) with a recent (≤10 weeks) concussion and at least mild anxiety (≥5 on the GAD-7 questionnaire) to under…
A case-control study of tackle based head impact event (HIE) risk factors from the first three seasons of the National Rugby League Women's competition
Objective The tackle is the most injurious event in rugby league and carries the greatest risk of concussion. This study aims to replicate previous research conducted in professional men's rugby league by examining the association between selected tackle characteristics and head impact events (HIEs) in women's professional rugby league. Methods We reviewed and coded 83 tackles resulting in an HIE and every tackle (6,318 tackles) that did not resu…
Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-5th Edition (SCAT5): Normative Reference Values for the National Rugby League Women's Premiership
Objective: To establish normative reference values for the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool-5th Edition (SCAT5) for the new National Rugby League Women's Premiership. Methods: Preseason SCAT5 baseline testing was administered individually to all National Rugby League Women's Premiership players ( N = 117). Testing was completed by the medical staff. Normative reference values were calculated for the components of the SCAT5, including the Standard…
Development of a Machine-Learning-Based Classifier for the Identification of Head and Body Impacts in Elite Level Australian Rules Football Players
Background: Exposure to thousands of head and body impacts during a career in contact and collision sports may contribute to current or later life issues related to brain health. Wearable technology enables the measurement of impact exposure. The validation of impact detection is required for accurate exposure monitoring. In this study, we present a method of automatic identification (classification) of head and body impacts using an instrumented…
The unity and diversity of executive functions: A systematic review and re-analysis of latent variable studies
Consensus statement on concussion in sport—the 5 th international conference on concussion in sport held in Berlin, October 2016
The 2017 Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) consensus statement is designed to build on the principles outlined in the previous statements This document is developed for physicians and healthcare providers who are involved in athlete care, whether at a recreational, elite or professional level. While agreement exists on the principal messages conveyed by this document, the authors acknowledge that the science of SRC is evolving and therefore indivi…

Concurrent Validity of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales–Third Edition Index Score Short Forms in the Canadian Standardization Sample
This study evaluated the concurrent validity of estimated Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales—Third Edition (WAIS-III) index scores using various one- and two-subtest combinations. Participants were the Canadian WAIS-III standardization sample. Using all possible one- and two-subtest combinations, an estimated Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), an estimated Perceptual Organization Index (POI), and an estimated Working Memory Index (WMI) were genera…
Women with Low Activity are at Increased Risk for Depression
This study assessed if there are sex differences in the relationship between amount of physical activity and depression in primary care outpatients. Participants (N= 111), referred by their family physicians, wore a heart-rate monitor for 24 hr. The two-lead monitor collected the number of beats per minute and minute-averaged horizontal movement data, e.g., from walking or moving about. All participants underwent structured clinical interviewing …
Diagnostic Accuracy of the British Columbia Major Depression Inventory
The purpose of this study was to examine the diagnostic accuracy and clinical usefulness of the British Columbia Major Depression Inventory. Participants were 62 patients with depression referred by their psychiatrist or family physician, 19 general medical outpatients with no psychiatric problems referred by their family physicians, and 49 community control subjects. Mean age for the control subjects was 50.2 yr. (SD= 11.8), and mean education w…

Specificity of the MMPI–2 Fake Bad Scale as a Marker for Personal Injury Malingering
Psychologists who evaluate patients in medicolegal contexts should utilize objective assessment data with empirically established sensitivity and specificity for identifying negative response bias. The purpose of this study was to investigate the specificity of the Fake Bad Scale for identifying negative response bias in personal injury claimants. The cutoff scores proposed by Lees-Haley and colleagues were applied a federal prison, medical outpa…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the specificity of the Fake Bad Scale for identifying negative response bias in personal injury claimants. The cutoff scores proposed by Lees-Haley and colleagues were applied to inmate volunteers from a fed…
Screening for Depression in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus with the British Columbia Major Depression Inventory
Accurate identification of depression in patients with systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) is particularly complicated because the vegetative symptoms of depression also reflect core features of this autoimmune disease. Self-reported symptoms in patients with SLE (n = 103) and community control subjects (n = 136) were examined with the British Columbia Major Depression Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory-II. The patients with lupus obtaine…
Screening for Depression in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus With the British Columbia Major Depression Inventory
Measuring Improvement or Decline on the Wais–R in Inpatient Psychiatry
Psychologists in inpatient psychiatric settings sometimes are asked to assess whether patients improve or decline in intellectual functioning. The impetus for this referral question may be a perceived change in psychiatric status, an acute neuropathological event, e.g., a head injury, or a suspicion of an early dementing process. For this study, data from 100 inpatients who completed the WAIS–R on two separate admissions were used to calculate co…
Analysis of risk to children participating in a sociometric task
Fourth and 5th graders (N = 119) were individually interviewed regarding their reactions to completing group-administered, positive and negative peer nomination techniques. Results were consistent with previous findings of no obvious harm; but, additional, unique information regarding children's discussions was identified. For example, 7 children reported that 6 low-status peers were talked about behind their backs. However, these 7 children furt…
