Abstract
The purpose of this study was to survey female high school athletes’ knowledge of sport-related concussion (SRC) long-term impacts. This study utilized the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey – Student Version regarding the knowledge and attitudes high school athletes have towards SRCs to determine if they knew the severity of the possible long-term impacts. The survey was distributed to two female contact sport teams at one high school in Northeast Arkansas. The results of the study showed that high school female athletes possessed greater SRC knowledge but did demonstrate the safest attitudes towards sustaining an SRC. While the study utilized a small sample size, it revealed further research is needed regarding the quality of education high school female athletes receive on SRCs.
