“…Our findings are also consistent with those from an epidemiological prospective study of children who suffered injury between 5 and 10 years of age and determined that the children with TBI showed increased levels of aggression before the injury (Bijur et al, 1988). Another study of TBI in childhood suggests that behavioral problems were present before the TBI and were associated with the development of post-TBI psychiatric sequelae (Max et al, 1997).…”

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with psychiatric illness, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and completed suicide. We investigated the relationship between mild TBI and other risk factors for suicidal behavior in major depressive episode. We hypothesized that mild TBI would be associated with suicidal behavior at least partly because of shared risk factors that contribute to the diathesis for suicidal acts. Depressed patients (N = 325) presenting for treatment were evaluated for psychopathology, traumatic history, and suicidal behavior. Data were analyzed using Student t -test, chi-square statistic, or Fisher exact test. A backward stepwise logistic regression model (N = 255) examined the relationship between attempter status and variables that differed in the TBI and non-TBI patients. Forty-four percent of all subjects reported mild TBI. Subjects with TBI were more likely to be male, have a history of substance abuse, have cluster B personality disorder, and be more aggressive and hostile compared with subjects without TBI. They were also more likely to be suicide attempters, although their suicidal behavior was not different from that of suicide attempters without TBI. Attempt status was mostly predicted by aggression and hostility, but not the presence of TBI. Of note, for males, a history of TBI increased the likelihood of being a suicide attempter, whereas the risk was elevated for females regardless of TBI history. Our data suggest that suicidal behavior and TBI share antecedent risk factors: hostility and aggression. Future studies may yield confirmation using a prospective design.

“…Many studies have associated accident-prone adults and children with impulsive, disruptive, hyperactive, aggressive, distractible, and risk-taking behaviors [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Such behavioral characteristics also are associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) [9 -12].…”

“…Bijur and colleagues (Bijur et al, 1986(Bijur et al, , 1988) studied over 10,000 children at age 5 and again at age 10. Results suggest that high activity and aggression levels were concurrently and prospectively related to injury history.…”

This study examined longitudinal and concurrent relations between temperament, ability estimation, and injury proneness. Longitudinal assessments of Inhibitory Control were collected through a behavioral battery at toddler (33 months) and preschool ages (46 months). Parent-reported measures of Inhibitory Control and Extraversion also were obtained at those ages. At school age (76 months), children participated in a set of tasks to assess overestimation and underestimation of physical abilities. Parents provided reports of children's temperament and injury history at school age. Results showed that children who were high on Extraversion and low on Inhibitory Control as toddlers and preschoolers tended to overestimate their physical abilities and to have more unintentional injuries at age 6. Children low on Extraversion and high on Inhibitory Control tended to underestimate their physical abilities. Implications for injury prevention are discussed.
