Categorizing Sports-Related Concussion Disparities by Key Domains of Social Determinants of Health.

Purpose Of Review: To explore recently published data on disparities in concussion and best categorize these data into domains of social determinants of health (SDOH).

Recent Findings: Disparities in concussion cover a range of SDOH domains. Questions on disparities in concussion remain.

Reducing neurodisparity: Recommendations of the 2017 AAN Diversity Leadership Program.

Many advances in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurologic disease have emerged in the last few decades, resulting in reduced mortality and decreased disability. However, these advances have not benefitted all populations equally. A growing body of evidence indicates that barriers to care fall along racial and ethnic lines, with persons from minority groups frequently having lower rates of evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention, and consequently experiencing worse neurologic outcomes than their white counterparts.
