Improving data collection for athletes with concussions

A systematic review of concussion studies found that only 15.5% of concussion studies reported participants’ cultural background, and just 7.6% included ethnicity. Of those, 70% were white. The authors note that race, ethnicity, and culture can influence access to care, symptom reporting, and recovery. Without this data, disparities may persist. Better demographic reporting can help create more inclusive and effective concussion care.
