State Requires Brain Tests for Student Athletes

Early this week, the Arizona Interscholastic Association, the Arizona Cardinals and Barrow Neurological Institute introduced Brainbook, an online video intended to educate prep athletes about the danger of concussions.

.

AIA executive director Harold Slemmer has said athletes will be required to watch the video and correctly answer 80 percent of the test questions to be eligible to participate in sports.

.

With the move, Arizona is now first in the U.S. to mandate all male and female athletes undergo concussion education and pass a formal test before playing.

.

PHS school football coach Byron Quinlan, and others around small-town Arizona including some athletic directors, said this week they had not yet seen Brainbook and know little of the program requirements.

.

However, if the date being touted for passing the test, Oct. 1, is indeed accurate (it could not be verified by press time), that gives Arizona coaches limited time to have their players watch the video and take the exam.

.

Creators of Brainbook say it is designed to look like a social media site and student-athletes are taken through a series of educational content, activities and video. The test follows.

.

Prior to the AIA announcing the formation of Brainbook, Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale made concussion testing available to more than 100,000 athletes around the state.

.

Which means there are now two sources teaching the dangers of concussions Brainbook and Mayo Clincs baseline concussion online cognitive test than can be taken on any computer with Web access.

.

The Mayo testing measures how the brain is working when it is normal.

.

The advantage of having a baseline assessment is that it helps doctors understand when there has been a change in brain activity, which indicates a concussion.

.

The test also helps determine when an athletes brain has returned to normal and he or she can resume play.
