Characteristics of Schools with Youth Sports Concussion‐Related Educational Policies and Practices

Abstract: BACKGROUND School policies and practices designed to educate athletes, parents, and coaches about youth sports concussions may be a way to reduce concussion risk and improve both the recognition and management of concussions. METHODS Nationally representative data from the 2014 School Health Policies and Practices Study (SHPPS) were used to assess associations between school demographic characteristics (eg, school level, metropolitan status, and school type) and school policies and practices addressing youth s… Show more

“…However, the middle school sports setting was distinct from other settings and needed a concussion education and prevention framework that could suit its unique needs (Kerr et al 2018). Compared to high schools, middle schools may be less likely to have an onsite athletic trainer or enact concussion-related policy (Kerr et al 2018;DePadilla et al 2020). As in other emerging and under-studied settings, (Caine and Provance 2018; Emery 2018) formative research in this area was needed to identify community priorities, as related to the specific sports settings and overall within the middle school.…”

“…Research by Jiminez et al 50 found Hispanic students received significantly less concussion education than non‐Hispanic White students prior to experiencing a TBI. Additional reports indicate middle, private, and urban schools also lack SRC education, policies, and procedures 51,52 . All of this evidence lends credence to Harvey's 49 suggestion that concussion education be retooled to take these differences into consideration.…”

“…Furthermore, many middle school settings lack access to on-site athletic trainers and a school nurse may also be integral in providing education and care for children and their parents [41,42]. This is particularly important as previous research has found that, compared to high schools, middle schools were less likely to have policies related to concussion education for athletes, parents, and coaches [43]. Although the majority of concussion legislation accounts for middle school students [44], continued efforts are needed to ensure equitable access to education and care.…”
