abstract="OBJECTIVE: Executive dysfunction in college students who have had an acute traumatic brain injury was investigated. The cognitive, behavioral, and metacognitive effects on college students who endorsed experiencing a brain injury were specifically explored. PARTICIPANTS: 121 college students who endorsed a mild TBI and 121 college students with no history of a TBI were matched on sex and ethnicity to examine potential differences between groups. <br><br>METHODS: Participants completed the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX). <br><br>RESULTS: A Rasch analysis indicated the TBI group had significantly higher total scores on the DEX than the control group. Moreover, when compared to the control group, the students with a TBI had higher scores on all three subcomponents of the DEX. <br><br>CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that students who endorse brain injuries may experience more difficulty with specific facets of college. Thus, the importance of academic and personal resources available for students with a TBI is discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
