To understand academic support structures for Washington state public high school students with concussion during the COVID-19 pandemic.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Prospective, repeated cross-sectional study of 21 schools in 2020 and 2021.
About 28% of schools reported not providing any return-to-learn (RTL) accommodations for students with concussion throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. RTL accommodation provision was associated with larger student body size ( = 0.002) and higher graduation rate ( = 0.261) but was not associated with presence of RTL school policy. About 38.1% of schools received no guidance on how to provide RTL accommodations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and many reported that students with concussion struggled more.
Schools struggled to provide RTL accommodations for students with concussion during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for evidence-based guidance and resource allocation to vulnerable schools.
了解在新冠疫情期间华盛顿州公立高中脑震荡学生的学业支持结构。
2020年和2021年对21所学校进行前瞻性、重复横断面研究。
约28%的学校报告称,在整个新冠疫情期间未为脑震荡学生提供任何复学(RTL)便利措施。提供RTL便利措施与更大的学生规模(P = 0.002)和更高的毕业率(P = 0.261)相关,但与RTL学校政策的存在无关。约38.1%的学校在新冠疫情期间未收到关于如何提供RTL便利措施的指导,许多学校报告称脑震荡学生面临的困难更大。
在新冠疫情期间,学校难以向脑震荡学生提供RTL便利措施,这凸显了为弱势学校提供循证指导和资源分配的必要性。
