Investigating the relationship between head injury and aggression in minors over time

攻击性不仅会对自己，也会对他人和社会产生负面影响。在英格兰和威尔士，据报道约有130万起暴力犯罪。因此，重要的是要确定什么可能导致攻击，包括那些以攻击为主要特征的情况（在这种情况下是行为障碍）。在过去，创伤性脑损伤（TBI）已被反复研究，并表明与TBI和后攻击有关。但如果是不那么严重的头部损伤呢？该项目旨在调查儿童和青少年的头部损伤（不包括TBI）和攻击行为之间是否存在关系。它将通过使用千年队列研究（MCS）中已经获得的纵向数据来做到这一点——千年队列研究是一项对2000年至2002年间出生的19,000人的出生队列研究。该研究的目的是了解在儿童和青少年时期，男性和女性的头部受伤和攻击性行为之间是否存在联系。如果这些个体在临床相关的攻击行为中存在不同的途径，如果存在青少年攻击行为轨迹的个体和家族风险因素。

Aggression can have negative implications not only to the self but to others and society. In England andWales and estimated 1.3 million violent crimes where reported. It is therefore important to identify whatmay cause aggression including those conditions where aggression is a main characteristic (in this caseconduct disorder). In the past, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been repeatedly investigated and hassuggested that there is a relationship with TBI and post-aggression. But what about a less severe headrelated injury?This project aims to investigate if there is a relationship between head injuries (excluding TBI) andaggressive behaviours seen in childhood and adolescents. It will do so by using longitudinal data alreadyacquired from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) - a birth cohort study of 19,000 individuals bornbetween 2000 and 2002. It aims to see if there is a relationship between head injury and aggressivebehaviours in males and females during childhood and adolescents.If there are different pathways in clinically relevant aggressive behaviours in these individuals and ifthere are individual and familial risk factors for trajectories in aggressive behaviour in adolescents.
