Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Sustaining multiple concussions over one's lifetime may be associated with behavioral and mood changes beyond the acute phase of injury. The present cross-sectional study examined the relationship between concussion history, the incidence of current moderate-severe psychological distress, and lifetime adolescent hazardous gambling in high school students. Four-hundred fifty-nine high school students from southern Sweden (age: 16.81 [+ or -] 0.83, 58.2% male) completed a survey assessing concussion history (0,1,2...>8), psychological distress using the Kessler-6 scale, and lifetime hazardous gambling using the NODS-CLiP scale. Self-reporting three or more concussions was associated with increased current psychological distress beyond the acute phase of injury among high school students. Adolescents who have sustained multiple concussions should undergo mental health evaluations beyond the acute phase of injury to identify and treat psychological distress, but probing for hazardous gambling may not be clinically relevant in this previously concussed adolescent population.
