“…Athletes were asked to respond to scales measuring vestedness in attitudes related to their risk perception and decision-making related to suffering SHIs (see S3 Table). Vested Interest Scales were modified from natural hazard research to fit the present context; construction and validation of these scales, as well as the risk perception scale, is reported in existing publications [20,31,58]. We modified the Vested Interest Scales for the SHI context by substituting appropriate nouns and phrases into the items.…”

Socioecological influences on concussion reporting by NCAA Division 1 athletes in high-risk sports

Concussion among athletes is an issue of growing concern, with efforts underway to improve detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Success depends on communication by athletes, as brain-related symptoms are often not outwardly visible. Education programs to increase reporting behavior have not been successful to date. In accordance with the socioecological approach to health, we argue that multiple levels of influence on student athletes must be addressed, and report a multi-dimensional, mixed-methods research project conducted to identify possible points of intervention into changing the culture of concussion-injury reporting among collegiate athletes. Using quantitative, qualitative and interpretive methods, we examine the individual-level vested interests athletes have in reporting or not reporting concussion symptoms, and how these interests interact with community-level team culture and interpersonal relationships , and social-level cultural narratives to influence concussion-reporting behavior. Our findings confirm the viability of this approach, identifying immediacy, separation of responsibility and pain-enduring story systems as particularly salient elements. We conclude that competing performance versus safety value structures, reflected in cultural narratives and team culture, create mixed-messages for athletes, which are resolved in favor of performance because athletes perceive concussion injuries to be of low immediacy.

“…Flooding remains the costliest and deadliest natural hazard, accounting for 40% of all natural disasters and half of all disaster-related deaths [1], [2]. Historical records have shown that coastal megacities situated in developing nations suffer the most from flood disasters, mainly due to huge population exposure, and more critically, the lack of actionable data and poor situational awareness that undermine the efforts of flood control operators, first responders and emergency services [3].…”

Georeferenced social media data are gaining increased application in creating near real-time flood maps needed to improve situational awareness in data-starved regions. However, there is growing concern that the georeferenced locations of flood-related social media contents do not always correspond to the actual locations of the flooding event. But to what extent is this true? Without this knowledge, it is difficult to ascertain the accuracy of flood maps created using georeferenced social media contents. This study aims to improve understanding of the extent to which georeferenced locations of social media flood reports deviate from the actual locations of floods. The study analyses flood-related tweets acquired as part of the PetaJakarta.org project implemented in the coastal mega-city of Jakarta and provides insight into the level of accuracy expected with using georeferenced social media data for flood mapping. Importantly, the results reveal that the accuracy of flood maps generated with georeferenced social media data reduces with increase in the size of the minimum mapping unit of the flood map. Finally, an approach is recommended for creating more accurate real time flood maps from crowdsourced social media data.Abstract-Georeferenced social media data are gaining increased application in creating near real-time flood maps needed to improve situational awareness in data-starved regions.

“…Similar iterations of these subscales have been used in related risk perception research; results from related studies show that the scales are robust to modification across contexts. Details concerning development, reliability, validation, and context-based modification of these scales are reported elsewhere (Adame & Miller, 2016; Miller, Adame, & Moore, 2013), as is their use in concussion-related research (Adame & Corman, 2019).…”

“…As a theory of the attitude–behavior relationship, VI is valuable both as an audience analysis tool and as a frame for designing effective persuasive health communication campaigns (Adame & Miller, 2015). Communicative and environmental interactions can influence overall vestedness (Adame & Miller, 2016). In risk communication contexts, research has demonstrated that perceived vestedness can be manipulated through VI-based campaigns, and the VI-based messages are effective in motivating self-protective behavior (Adame & Miller, 2015; De Dominicis et al, 2014).…”

Promoting the Development of Evidence-Based Concussion Education for Power-5 Collegiate Athletes: The Influences of Organizational Elements on Perceived Vestedness

Concussions present a significant health concern for collegiate athletes, team leaders, and university administrators. The consequences of these injuries can affect athletes’ scholastic and athletic performance in the short term, and manifest later in life, long after their athletic career ends. Present educational efforts are ineffective because they neglect important influences on athletes’ decisions to report potential concussion injuries. Here, we present research that examines organization-based influences on vestedness in attitudes related to athletes’ perceived risk of concussion consequences and team commitment. Examining a sample of 435 collegiate athletes from 11 universities, participating in six Division I/Power-5 conference high-concussion-risk sports, our findings support that organizational-based perceptions exert influence on these key concussion–related variables. In synthesizing the results, we offer evidence-based recommendations that organizational members can use to create environments that promote concussion injury reporting and adherence to recovery protocols. This research contributes to the growing body of literature calling for the development of educational concussion injury education modules that recognize contextual influences grounded in communication theory and provide a persuasive impetus.
