Universities Lag in Concussion Management, Study Says

Four years after the N.C.A.A. introduced a concussion policy that placed
responsibilities on member universities, many have still not implemented
all aspects of the program, a new study by researchers at Harvard found.
.
In a survey of 1,066 N.C.A.A. institutions, 907 of which responded, more
than 90 percent of the universities said they had introduced a concussion
management plan. But the universities must do a better job of educating
coaches and athletes on the risks of concussions and of increasing the
size of their sports medicine staffs, the study found.
.
The study also said that the N.C.A.A. needed to do more to monitor
universities to ensure that they were complying with its policy, which
suggests that athletes suspected of having a concussion be removed from
play, medically evaluated and cleared by a physician before returning.
Athletes should also be taught about concussions annually and acknowledge
that they must report concussion symptoms to medical personnel.
.
Despite the rules being in place for four years, theyve never been
evaluated, and it is concerning that there are still N.C.A.A. schools
without a concussion-management plan in place, Christine Baugh, a lead
author of the study, which was published Tuesday in The American Journal
of Sports Medicine, said in a statement released by Harvard.
.
The findings were released several weeks after Baugh and her colleagues
published three other studies of college football players that showed that
for every diagnosed concussion, players also received 21 so-called dings,
or smaller hits to the head, that were not reported. Because so many hits
went unreported, it was difficult to know precisely how many concussions
the players might have sustained.
.
The research comes as new questions are being asked about whether coaches,
trainers and doctors are doing enough to monitor football players for
concussions.
