Association Between Combat Stress and Post-Concussive Symptom Reporting in OEF/OIF Service Members with Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries

It is hypothesized that the co-occurence of combat stress would have significant effect on the severity of post-concussive complaints, specifically on emotional and cognitive symptoms.
