Scaling a concussion education and best practice package

This project’s mission is to support concussion prevention, identification and management through tailored, evidence-based education and support.

The most common head injury (90%) is concussion, of which 50% still go undetected or unreported due to lack of understanding about symptomology and seriousness. Concussions can cause serious long-term physical, mental, and emotional disturbances. Much of this harm and cost can be avoided with better prevention and injury management systems; effective and proactive education is key.

Through this project we will (1) scale and evaluate the delivery of our existing evidence-based concussion package and (2) engage the national ConcussEd research and knowledge exchange group and stimulate collaborations with potential partners through and interactive event in Spring 2021.
