A-112 Examining the Utility of the New Dot Counting Test Cut-off Score in Latinx and Traumatic Brain Injury

Abstract Objective The Dot Counting Test (DCT) is a performance validity test. McCaul et al. (2018) recently revised the DCT cut-off score from ≥17 to 13.80; we evaluated new in non-Latinx Caucasian and Latinx traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors healthy comparison (HC) participants. Method sample consisted of 37 acute TBI (ATBI; 11 Latinx; 26 Caucasian), 27 chronic (CTBI; 10 17 55 HC (29 Caucasian) Results An ANCOVA, controlling for age, revealed no E-scores differences between groups. Both conventional scores had different failure rates ATBI (conventional cut-off: 0%; PNC: 16%), CTBI 7%; 15%), 10%; 11%) For group 6%; 12%) 14%), demonstrated across scores. Group were found with cut-off. Also, chi-squared analysis participants greater than ATBI. Conclusion resulted survivors. this effect appears be most pronounced persons Future work should investigate possible reasons these so that more stringent can utilized way provides less biased results racial ethnic
