To understand sex differences and sources of concussion education for college students. The literature for college students primarily focuses on sports concussions and general knowledge. Understanding how non-students-athletes learn is critical to developing interventions to improve concussion knowledge.
A random sample of 208 students from four-year institutions.
A 22-question online survey explored postsecondary students' current knowledge and education regarding concussions.
Findings indicated that sex differences emerged with concussion knowledge and sources of concussion knowledge (e.g., leaflets, pamphlets, parents, and television). The top choices for where they wanted to learn about concussions were health educators, health centers, and campus peer educators.
This study provides an initial evaluation and implications for future research on providing concussion education.
了解大学生脑震荡教育的性别差异及来源。针对大学生的文献主要聚焦于运动性脑震荡和一般知识。了解非学生运动员如何学习对于制定提高脑震荡知识的干预措施至关重要。
从四年制院校随机抽取208名学生。
一项包含22个问题的在线调查探讨了高等院校学生关于脑震荡的现有知识和教育情况。
研究结果表明，在脑震荡知识和脑震荡知识来源（如传单、小册子、家长和电视）方面存在性别差异。他们希望了解脑震荡知识的首选渠道是健康教育工作者、健康中心和校园同伴教育者。
本研究为未来提供脑震荡教育的研究提供了初步评估及启示。
