About the study

This project will measure concussion symptoms, biological markers, and academic and social factors across the first year postconcussion to develop a model that enables early identification of and symptom management for children at higher risk for persistent postconcussive symptoms. Findings will provide novel insights into the longer-term effects of concussion on children's physical, psychological, and social well-being and support the development of personalized healthcare and school-based plans to reduce disparities in children's ability to return-to-learn and -play and improve postconcussion quality of life.
