The post-injury psychosocial problems of 42 adult male head injury patients over a 3-year period were evaluated using the Portland Adaptability Inventory. In all time periods, the areas most impaired were social contact, work/school, and leisure as well as elevated frequencies of problems with anxiety, depression, and significant relationships. (DB)
