The CKI is a valid and reliable measure in collegiate student-athletes. However, the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated a poor model fit and improper correlations between attitude items. Therefore, the CAI may not be a sound outcome measure of collegiate student-athlete's attitudes toward concussions.

This study examined the relationship between financial stress and student retention for post-secondary students. Data from 2014 collected at a Pacific Northwest University using The Ohio State's National Student Financial Wellness Study were used to examine the students’ reported levels of stress related to finances. Students reported the most financial stress came from their student loan debt. Data analyses showed significance between participants who reported “large” and “extreme” amounts of stress from debt and their decisions to reduce course work, drop out, and/or take a break. Although future research is needed to determine the exact relationship between financial stress and retention rates, it is important to acknowledge that financial stress influences students’ educational decisions.
