Area of Science:

Pediatric Medicine
Neurology
Sports Medicine

Background:

Pediatric providers regularly encounter concussion cases.
Current practices and attitudes towards concussion diagnosis and management are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess self-reported practices and attitudes of pediatric providers regarding concussion diagnosis and management.
To identify barriers and needs for improving concussion care in a pediatric network.

Main Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was administered to pediatric primary care and emergency medicine providers.
The survey queried provider practices, attitudes, and perceived barriers to concussion education.

Main Results:

A 53% response rate (145/276) was achieved. 91% of respondents had treated concussion patients recently.
Inadequate training (16%) and time (15%) were key barriers to educating families.
96-100% of providers without specific concussion tools or instructions found them helpful.

Conclusions:

Pediatric providers manage concussions but may lack sufficient training and infrastructure.
Improved provider education, decision support tools, and patient information are crucial for standardizing concussion care.
