Surveillance in High School and Community Sport to Reduce Concussions in Canadian Youth
SHRed Concussions
SHRed Concussions
SHRed Concussions is a large Canadian research study that was funded by the National Football league’s (NFL) Scientific Advisory Board to better understand how common concussions are in high school athletes.
We are looking at:
Youth who participate in at least one of the SHRed study sports in the community or at their school to participate: ice hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, rugby, football, lacrosse, ringette, cheerleading, wrestling, street dance, sledge hockey, wheelchair basketball, and others.
To develop a greater understanding of concussions and their consequences among high school and community sport athletes.
Participants must create an online account at SHRedConcussions.ca, whereby they will complete most of their study requirements. Through the online account participants will complete weekly sport participation and injury surveys and be able to report any injury sustained to their study therapist. Additionally, participants are asked to participate in baseline testing that includes; baseline measures, online questionnaires and clinical assessments.
