System for ptsd and tbi has been in 10 years in the army. PTSD and TBI relationship? Can have one w/out the other?

Greenhalgh: no necessarly sir. Member can have underlying problems.

Colston: Service members come to us not differentiating. Present problems to us that make it hard for us to diagnos.

Street: nothing to add.

Cotton: is one easier to diagnos than the other?

Greenhalgh: we see lots of behavioral health in my field primary care. TBI is easy to put in diagnosing in primary care.

Colston: I see different patients in pycsoclogial. PTSD science is more advance than TBI.

Street: PTS research base is further along. Developing further tools for TBI.

Cotton: science is further for PTSD because of number of patients vs TBI?

Colston: science of TBI is really hard to get a handle on. HIV is easy to understand than the brian. PTSD has a deeper research history for us to draw on.

Street: we became aware of PTSD from Vietnam. TBI is more from Afghanistan and Iraq.

Greenhalgh: we have also have history going back to WWI. Having neuroimaging helps us.

Cotton: longitudinal studies take too long?

Colston: yes sir but it's the only way we can do it. Have multiple study?

Greenhlagh: just because its longitudinal doesn't mean we cant collect and access data.

Cotton: productive to expand to other fields, football, hockey?

Street: yes. I have experience taking football data and applying it to field.
