Article Synopsis
- A study surveyed 2,998 high school athletes from public and private schools to examine their history of sport-related concussions (SRC), return to learn (RTL), and return to play (RTP) timelines.
- Results indicated that private school athletes were twice as likely to report a history of SRC compared to their public school counterparts, but there were no significant differences in RTL or RTP timelines between the two groups.
- A notable 22.4% of athletes did not report their SRC, primarily due to wanting to continue playing and not perceiving the injury as serious enough.
Objective: The objective of this study is to describe concussion reporting and return to learn and play among high school students.
Methods: Self-reported survey data of 1,999 New England private preparatory high school students who played sports or engaged in recreational activities were collected in 2018. Descriptive and bivariate statistics are presented.
Background: Sports- and recreation-related (SRR) activities are a major cause of adolescent concussions. Most adolescent SRR concussion research has been conducted among public school students. As private schools are qualitatively different from public schools (eg, location, socioeconomic status, sports played), this study explores the concussion experiences of a large group of private high school students.
