Validity and reliability of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery - Screening Module (S-NAB) in a subset of Malaysian population with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI)
This study assessed the validity (construct validity) and reliability (internal consistency) of the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery Screening Module (S-NAB) in detecting mild cognitive deficit/alteration in multicultural, multilingual, and multiethnic mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) populat...
