Collegiate student-athletes concussion knowledge and attitudes: what a difference a decade Makes.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess changes in concussion knowledge and attitudes amongst incoming intercollegiate student-athletes over the course of a decade (2010-2012 vs 2021-2023).

Methods: There were 592 student-athletes from 2 cohorts (2010-2012, 2021-2023) who completed the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey (ROCKaS) questionnaire which is comprised of a concussion knowledge index (CKI, 0-24) and attitude index (CAI, 15-75) with higher scores reflecting better performance. A three factor ANOVA (Group, Sex, Concussion History) compared performance on the CKI and CAI.

Collegiate Athletes With Diabetes: Baseline Medical Comorbidities and Preseason Concussion Testing Performance.

Context: People with diabetes mellitus (DM) are at increased risk for adverse health events and complications throughout their lifetime. Whether DM significantly affects collegiate athletes' concussion baseline testing performance remains unclear.

Objectives: To (1) describe the prevalence of DM and associated comorbidities and (2) compare concussion baseline testing performance between student-athletes with DM and student-athletes without DM (NoDM).

Self-Reported Mental Health Measures of Incoming Collegiate Student-Athletes With a History of COVID-19.

Background: People with a history of COVID-19 may experience persistent neuropsychological disruptions such as lower satisfaction with life, depression, and anxiety. Although student-athletes are at low risk for severe COVID-19 complications, the effect of COVID-19 on mental health has not been elucidated.

Objective: To compare patient-reported mental health outcomes for incoming collegiate athletes with (COVID+) or without (COVID-) a history of COVID-19.
