Properties of OSU TBI-ID
The validity of the OSU TBI-ID is not based on elicitation of a veridical accounting of a person's lifetime history of TBI. Instead, the OSU TBI-ID provides data for calculating summary indices reflecting the likelihood that consequences have resulted from lifetime exposure to TBI. Initial validation research has supported the psychometric qualities of these summary indices. Reliability has been demonstrated by both inter-rater and test/re-test reliability (Corrigan & Bogner, 2007; Bogner & Corrigan, 2009). Predictive validity has been shown by the relationship between indices of lifetime history and measures of cognitive performance, affective status, interpersonal functioning and aggression (Corrigan & Bogner, 2007; Bogner & Corrigan, 2009). Summary indices from the OSU TBI-ID can be used in both research and clinical care.
