Improving Concussion Education: Do Athletic Trainers' Opinions Match Expert Consensus?

ABSTRACT:

Context

The National Collegiate Athletic Association and Department of Defense (NCAA-DoD) Mind Matters Challenge created "useful and feasible" consensus recommendations to improve concussion care-seeking behavior in collegiate athletes and military cadets. Given athletic trainers' (ATs') role as providers of concussion education and medical care, it is important to understand if they agree with the expert panel that the recommendations are useful and feasible.

Objective

To describe and compare the perceptions of ATs in the secondary school (SS) and collegiate settings of the utility and feasibility of the NCAA-DoD Mind Matters Challenge recommendations on improving concussion education.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting
