To determine the rate of insomnia among active-duty soldiers with and without a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Research Method and Design: Data were extracted from the All Army Study (AAS), a cross-sectional, self-report survey completed by a representative sample of 21,499 U.S. Army soldiers from 2011 to 2013 as part of the Army Study to Assess Risk and Resilience in Servicemembers. History and severity of TBI were determined by participants' responses to questions regarding postinjury symptomology (i.e., loss of consciousness [LOC], amnesia, etc.). Insomnia symptoms were defined using DSM-5 criteria as measured by the Brief Insomnia Questionnaire.
