MY RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am studying the effects of a concussion education program on improving concussion recognition and knowledge among youth and adolescents. The goal of this educational intervention is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of concussion and to alter negative attitudes and behaviours associated with concussion reporting. I would like to further explore the long-term benefits of neuroeducation, and how this may reduce the incidence of concussion in youth sports today.
