abstract="BACKGROUND: Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in children is most commonly associated with parent-reported child behaviour problems. The extent to which parent and child ratings align is unknown. <br><br>OBJECTIVES: To examine differences in child behaviour and patterns of recovery over the first 12 months following mTBI based on parent and child self-report. <br><br>METHODS: Ninety-nine children (8-15 years) with mTBI and one of their parents completed the Behavioural Assessment Scale for Children - version 2 to assess child hyperactivity, anxiety and depression at baseline, 1, 6 and 12 months post-injury. Differences between ratings from parents and children were evaluated using Bland-Altman limits of agreement analyses. Child recovery over time was examined using mixed models repeated measures analyses. <br><br>RESULTS: Parent and child ratings for child hyperactivity, anxiety and depression differed significantly at baseline and these differences remained constant at each follow-up. Parents tended to report more child hyperactivity, anxiety and depression. Over time, parents and children reported fewer child hyperactivity and anxiety problems. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Parents and children have poor agreement in ratings of child behaviour yet there is general agreement in patterns of recovery in the year following mTBI. <br><br>FINDINGS show the importance of considering both parent and self-report of child behaviour.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
