A Multifactorial Approach to Sport-Related Concussion Prevention and Education: Application of the Socioecological Framework

Abstract: Objective: To offer an overview of sport-related concussion (SRC) prevention and education strategies in the context of the socioecological framework (SEF). Athletic trainers (ATs) will understand the many factors that interact to influence SRC prevention and the implications of these interactions for effective SRC education.Background: Concussion is a complex injury that is challenging to identify and manage, particularly when athletes fail to disclose symptoms to their health care providers. Education is 1 s… Show more

“…However, these models have typically not been applied to the sports medicine realm. 7,8 We propose that the socioecological framework be used as a guide for organizing and summarizing the evidence concerning various risk factors associated with sport-related death and determinants of potentially promising interventions. 9,10 The socioecological framework was first suggested by Broffenbrenner 11 in the 1970s as an ecological systems theory and was later redefined by McLeroy et al 9 as a framework to promote health-related behavioral change.…”

“…To date, we identified only 3 published articles 7,8,12 that systematically applied the socioecological framework to a sports medicine topic. Failing to use a structure to organize and apply the evidence on sport-related death for end users prevents a systematic approach to improving interventions and promoting the adoption of best practices.…”

“…A uthors of recent studies [1][2][3] in the area of sportrelated-concussion (SRC) prevention argued effectively that increasing the rates at which studentathletes report SRCs requires an understanding of the factors affecting concussion-reporting behavior (CRB) that go beyond a student-athlete's knowledge of the risks and symptoms. The most well-known systems theory is the Bronfenbrenner socioecological model (SEM), 4 which posits that human behavior is a function of synergistic and reciprocal influences between the individual and the settings in which he or she operates (microsystem), the interaction among those settings (mesosystem), the environments that indirectly affect the settings (exosystem), and cultural ideologies (macrosystem).…”

Several researchers 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] have used elements of this model to make similar arguments. Register-Mihalik et al 2 recommended that in order for athletic trainers (ATs) to design more effective interventions, they should consider factors at multiple levels, such as community or interpersonal levels of influence.…”
