Prevalence of head injury among four-year college students: a replication and combined results.
In a replication of an earlier study, college students were surveyed to assess the prevalence of diagnosed head injury or prolonged periods of unconsciousness. Results were consistent with previous research and indicated a significant number of college students reported a head injury or a prolonged period of unconsciousness. The major results of the two studies are reported as combined data.
