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

攻击性不仅会对自己，而且会对他人和社会产生负面影响。在英格兰和威尔士，据估计有130万起暴力犯罪。因此，重要的是要查明可能引起攻击的原因，包括攻击是主要特征的条件(在这种情况下是导向性障碍)。在过去，创伤性脑损伤(TBI)被反复研究，并被认为与脑损伤和攻击后有关。但不太严重的头部损伤呢？这个项目旨在调查头部损伤(不包括脑外伤)与儿童和青少年中的攻击性行为之间是否存在联系。它将使用已经从千年队列研究(MCS)中获得的纵向数据来实现这一点--这是一项对2000至2002年间出生的19,000人进行的出生队列研究。它的目的是了解头部损伤与儿童和青少年期间男性和女性的攻击行为之间是否存在关系，这些人的临床相关攻击行为是否存在不同的途径，以及青少年攻击行为的轨迹是否存在个人和家庭风险因素。

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.
