S1 Ep. 39 Exploring Concussion Disclosure with Dr. Landon Lempke and Dr. Michelle Weber Rawlins

In this episode, Dr. Landon Lempke and Dr. Michelle Weber Rawlins discuss concussion disclosure in the context of their research findings and the potential for future research. They explain the role of athletic training, their expanded definitions of concussions, and break down misconceptions regarding the sports with the highest rate of concussions. They go on to explain how their research was informed by the existing literature, what their findings show, and how hard it can be to predict human behavior. They encourage listeners to seek care if you have a hit to the head or body and have a headache, dizziness, or just feel off or weird. Their future research hopes to expand the field by looking into concussions among specific populations and by creating a novel tool. This paper references the article titled "The Influence of Socioeconomic Status and Academic Standing on Concussion-Reporting Intentions and Behaviors in Collegiate Athletes" by by Landon B. Lempke, MEd, ATC, Michelle L. Weber Rawlins, PhD, ATC, Melissa N. Anderson, MS, L. Stephen Miller, PhD, Robert C. Lynall, PhD, ATC, and Julianne D. Schmidt, PhD, ATC.
