The CDC needs your help to learn more about concussions in youth sports

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has contracted with a team of researchers to better understand concussions in youth sports. The research team will investigate the relationship between youth sports concussion policies, concussion education, and the incidence of youth athletes playing with concussion symptoms.

Study details:

The study will require completing one online survey that will take approximately 10 minutes. Parents and athletes will also be asked to complete 10 brief weekly reports throughout the season by calling a toll-free number. These reports will take about 3 minutes to complete. Athletes and parents of athletes who report concussion symptoms will receive a phone call asking them to participate in an interview about the injury.

Your overall participation is voluntary. You do not have to participate, and if you do, you may skip any question you choose not to answer. Only the research team will have access to your individual responses. Your responses will be kept separate from any personally identifiable information, which will be kept in a secure database with limited access. The results of the survey will only be shared as a description of the overall group who participates. Individual responses and information will not be reported.
