United States Air Force Academy Cadets' Unprompted Knowledge of Concussions and "Bell Ringers" or "Dings": Perceived Differences and Similarities.

Context: After a possible concussion mechanism, cadets are unlikely to have a list of concussion signs and symptoms at their disposal. As such, unprompted concussion knowledge may be an essential factor in personal recognition of injury.

Objective: To explore determinants that contributed to United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) cadets' disclosure of a concussion.

United States Air Force Academy Cadets' Perceived Costs of Concussion Disclosure.

Introduction: Concussion is unique among sport-related injuries as effective clinical diagnosis and treatment often rely on symptom-report for clinician diagnosis and treatment. However, at-risk populations such as collegiate athletes and military academy cadets often have been shown to under-report concussions and symptoms, complicating diagnosis, treatment, and policy-based interventions. The purpose of this study was to explore factors influencing concussion reporting in United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) cadets.
