BACKGROUND Sport‐related concussions are a major public health problem with only 50% of concussed teens reporting their symptoms. The purpose of this systematic review was to identify individual and institutional factors that contribute to concussion knowledge, attitude, and reporting behaviors among US high school athletes. METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis protocol was used to direct the process of this systematic review. A search for English, peer‐reviewed, quantitative studies published between 2010 and 2020 was conducted in 5 scholarly databases. The Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal Tools were used to assess study quality. RESULTS Twenty‐two studies met criteria for inclusion in this systematic review. The study designs were mostly cross‐sectional (N = 18). Synthesis revealed individual factors including gender, age, race/ethnicity, grade level, and concussion history were associated with differences in concussion knowledge, attitude, and/or reporting behaviors. Institutional factors identified included school location, concussion education, access to an athletic trainer, sport played, and team climate. Six studies found concussion education had a positive impact on knowledge and reporting behaviors. CONCLUSION This systematic review identified certain populations which may be more vulnerable to underreporting concussion symptoms; therefore, a targeted approach to education and management may be more effective.

“…28 In addition, the TPB model has been used in a variety of sport settings to predict concussion reporting and evaluate the effects of education on such reporting. 29–32 Although the methods used to measure the TPB constructs are self-reported, and therefore may influence biases, results are still useful in understanding behavior and guiding intervention development. The purpose of this study was to use the TPB to determine which, if any, of the three constructs ( Attitude , PBC or Social Norms ) were associated with coach self-reported intention and, further, if intention was associated with coach self-reported behavior.…”

Increasing conversation about mental health is one way to decrease stigma and prevent/treat maladaptive processes within the context of sport. Due to their proximity and influence over athletes, coaches can increase conversation and change team culture. The objective of this study was to apply the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to explore the factors associated with coach-athlete conversation about mental health. A total of 136 Canadian coaches completed a demographic questionnaire as well as a TPB-based survey measuring Attitudes, Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), Social Norms and Intention. Intention was measured as Role perception, if a coach believed it was their role to be involved in athlete mental health. Behavior was measured as talking with an athlete(s) about mental health. Approximately 68% of coaches had spoken to athletes about mental health in the last season. The linear regression model predicted a significant amount (42.7%) of the variance in Intention ( p < .05) from the three TPB constructs. Logistic regression found a significant interaction effect of PBC and Intention on Behavior ( p < .01). Measured TPB construct scores were influenced by previous mental health training, personal experience with mental illness, age group and the act of talking ( p < .05). Although a promising amount of coaches spoke to athletes about mental health, improvement is still possible. Mental health training should continue to be promoted to all members of the athletic community. As attitude scores were generally positive, this training should potentially focus more on improving capabilities and social norms.

Young athletes who do not report a concussion injury are at greater risk for a prolonged recovery time and further neurocognitive impairments. Despite the seriousness of the issue and the scale of the problem, not enough is known about the behavioural underpinnings of concussion underreporting in minor athletes. This paper aims to apply the Knowledge, Attitude, and Behaviour (KAB) framework to the issue of injury reporting in adolescents, with the specific purpose of exploring to which degree concussion knowledge, concussion attitudes, and gender affect concussion reporting intentions of both male and female athletes. We recruited 97 young athletes between the ages of 14 and 19 (M = 16.22, SD = 11.06) from the Okanagan Hockey Academy (Canada) and employed a self-administered supervised survey approach to measuring the target variables. A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted, and consistent with the prior literature, females were more likely to report a sport-related concussion than males. It was further found that attitudes around concussions (i.e., taking concussions seriously) were significant predictors of concussion reporting intention. At the same time, there was no significant relationship between concussion knowledge and concussion reporting intention. These results highlight that knowledge about concussion symptoms is insufficient to warrant proper injury reporting. It will therefore be essential to work on changing the attitudes of young athletes regarding the significance of concussions to achieve meaningful behavioural change.
