Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Sports Medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Concussion education is vital for young athletes but research often targets older children.
  • Early education may foster long-term concussion safety awareness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore concussion awareness and knowledge in young children (ages 6-8).
  • To identify gaps for developing age-appropriate concussion education programs.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews were conducted with 20 children aged 6-8.
  • Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using structural, descriptive, and pattern coding.

Main Results:

  • Most children recognized the term 'concussion' and linked it to head/brain injuries.
  • Commonly cited injury causes were head impacts and falls; symptoms were often somatic (e.g., pain).
  • Following rules was the primary self-reported prevention strategy, with parents as key information sources.

Conclusions:

  • Young children show some concussion awareness but have significant knowledge gaps.
  • Developmentally appropriate programs using simple logic, concrete concepts, and parental involvement are recommended.
  • Targeted interventions can improve concussion safety knowledge in early childhood sports participation.
