Brain Injury Screening Tool

OBISSS (Online Brain Injury Screening and Support System)

The OBISSS is an online screening system to determine lifetime exposure to brain injury and to identify associated challenges that may be present for youth and adults. This system utilizes the validated and reliable Ohio State University TBI-Identification Method (OSU TBI-ID).

OBISSS is self-administered and appropriate for ages 10 and up. With the link provided below, any individual can complete the OBISSS screen on their own, or with help. OBISSS collects additional demographic information from each individual, and the individual will be prompted to complete the Symptoms Questionnaire for Brain Injury (SQBI).

Tip sheets are delivered, responding to identified challenges, to the individual and a copy can be sent to case managers or providers. OBISSS will provide customized referral information and where to access additional resources and supports. OBISSS helps in the following ways:

How OBISSS Helps:
