Abstract
This secondary analysis of a sample of post-9/11 veterans (N = 218) enrolled in the Central Texas VA Health Care System suggests the context in which mild TBI occurs (blast vs. non-blast) may affect subsequent PTSD symptom elevations post-discharge, even after controlling for demographics and trauma exposure.
