Abstract:
Sport-related concussion is a rising public health concern with claims that there is a concussion crisis in sport. An estimated 36% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples participate in sport-related activity at least once per week; yet, there is a paucity of information relating to concussion assessment in this population. We present and discuss initial findings from research topic yarning about the Sport-related Concussion Assessment Tool (5th edition) with 25 Aboriginal peoples trained in primary health care or with healthcare or first responder role experience, with the aim of promoting discussion as to how best to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples receive appropriate assessment after sustaining a sport-related concussion.
