Brain injuries associated with traumatic events, such as concussions, will be screened for in the CogState Neuropsychological Test, a standard computerized test used to assess neuropsychological deficits associated with brain injury.
This 9 item self-report scale measures the moral injury, or distress due to the contradiction to a deeply-held belief about the world that often accompanies a traumatic incident. The injury is assessed in terms of "perceived transgression" and "perceived betrayal."
