Great work by @DrJMDeitrick @ebeidler12 @JS_Wallace52

There are many challenges for parents in getting accurate information about concussions. Athletic Training asst. prof. Dr. Erica Beidler highlights them during her #DuqHealthSummit2019 presentation.

[Duq Brain Busters @DuqBrainBusters]

Great research by @MelissaAndrsn and colleagues to find that increased concussion symptoms are related to higher fear of re-injury. More research regarding the psychological experience of concussed patients is needed! https://t.co/voRE8jypSa

[Duq Brain Busters @DuqBrainBusters]

Great collaboration by @SiobhanOConnor3 and @ebeidler12 on concussion culture in Irish athletes. Main Message: Previous history of concussions increased the odds of non-disclosure by 2.6 times. https://t.co/1HIDGC6fQC
