Study: Many college athletes underestimate risk of concussion and other injury
College football players may underestimate their risk of injury and concussion, according to a new study published today in
JAMA Network Open.
Christine Baugh, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and member of the CU Center for Bioethics and Humanities, is the corresponding author of the article, Accuracy of US College Football Players Estimates of Their Risk of Concussion or Injury.
Baugh and co-authors report on survey results of 296 college football players from four teams in the Power 5 Conferences of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Athletes were surveyed in 2017. The researchers found that between 43 percent and 91 percent of respondents underestimated their risk of injury and between 42 percent and 63 percent underestimated their risk of concussion.
