  • Neurology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Concussions pose a significant risk to high school athletes.
  • Effective baseline concussion testing aids diagnosis and personalized post-injury management.
  • Current policies and practices for baseline testing in high schools show gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Identify the discrepancy between current baseline concussion testing policies and practices in state high schools.
  • Gather support for mandatory baseline concussion testing for high school athletes.
  • Propose revisions to enhance current baseline concussion testing policies.

Main Methods:

  • Mixed-methods approach utilizing a Qualtrics survey.
  • Data collected from high school athletic directors across the state.
  • Survey assessed current testing practices, barriers, and benefits of baseline concussion testing.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-three responses were analyzed.
  • Respondents acknowledged the benefits of baseline testing despite potential challenges.
  • Current practices, perceived barriers, and benefits were identified.

Conclusions:

  • A need for standardized baseline concussion testing procedures for high school athletes was identified.
  • Findings support revisions to the current state policy for concussion testing.
  • Policy revisions can enhance athlete safety and improve long-term health outcomes.
