A Risk Stratification Model for Health and Academic Outcomes in Children With Concussion Based on Novel Symptom Trajectory Typologies
This project will measure concussion symptoms, biological markers, and academic and social factors across the first year postconcussion to develop a model that enables early identification of and symptom management for children at higher risk for persistent postconcussive symptoms. Findings will provide novel insights into the longer-term effects of concussion on children's physical, psychological, and social well-being and support the development of personalized healthcare and school-based plans to reduce disparities in children's ability to return-to-learn and -play and improve postconcussion quality of life.
