Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Public Health Education
  • Athletic Training

Background:

  • Concussion education is crucial for secondary school athletes.
  • Understanding athletic trainers' perceptions of current concussion education is vital for improving safety protocols.
  • Existing concussion education programs vary in mandated use and perceived effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe concussion education perceptions among secondary school athletic trainers.
  • To determine the relationship between concussion education program characteristics and perceived effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • Survey administered to 203 secondary school athletic trainers.
  • Descriptive statistics used to analyze education program characteristics.
  • Point biserial correlations used to assess the relationship between program characteristics and perceived effectiveness.

Main Results:

  • State interscholastic associations and CDC Heads Up materials are frequently used mandated programs.
  • Engaging educational programs significantly increased perceived effectiveness (rpb = 0.31, p < 0.001).
  • Programs like CDC Heads Up and state-specific handouts were perceived as moderately effective.

Conclusions:

  • Concussion education materials from state associations and the CDC are utilized to meet mandates.
  • Perceived engagement is a key factor in the effectiveness of concussion education programs.
  • Future research should focus on specific educational tools and administration strategies to enhance concussion disclosure.
