Barriers to Delivering Concussion Education: Identifying Opportunities for Change Through the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior (COM-B) Model
This study aimed to describe barriers athletic trainers (ATs) face to implementing expert recommendations for improving athletes’ concussion care-seeking behavior. We distributed an electronic survey through the National Athletic Trainers’ Association to 9,997 ATs working in secondary schools or collegiate institutions and received 365 complete responses. We quantitatively measured their barriers using a validated survey based on the Capability, …
Move & Thrive: Development of a Web‐Based Training for Schools About Trauma‐Informed Physical Activity
BACKGROUND: Youth who have experienced trauma or other adverse childhood events have the potential to uniquely benefit from physical activity (PA). However, how PA is administered in schools can be re-traumatizing and fail to create positive experiences through movement. We sought to develop role-specific training to help increase the implementation of trauma-informed PA. METHODS: Guided by intervention mapping methodology, we developed "Move & T…
Toward a Trauma‐Informed Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program: Specifying Feasible Practices Across the School Day
BACKGROUND: Many students would benefit from trauma-informed physical activity (PA); however, there is a lack of systematic guidance on incorporating trauma-informed practices across school-based PA opportunities. The purpose of this study was to generate a feasible framework for trauma-informed school-based PA. METHODS: Framework development was guided by a modified Delphi approach, including an exploration phase and an evaluation phase. First, …
Barriers and facilitators of sports participation among rural-dwelling, Hispanic girls in southwestern United States: A qualitative study
Less than one third of American children meet physical activity guidelines, with well-established disparities by gender. Sports are one of the best investments for promoting youth physical activity, but both rural and Hispanic girls participate in lower numbers and enter at a later age than their counterparts. There is a dearth of literature on sport participation factors among Hispanic girls living in rural areas, particularly among those living…
Supporting Sexual Violence Prevention and Response for Student-Athletes: Exploring Successes and Challenges Within Division I Athletic Programs
Athletic settings may influence both risk and protective factors for sexual violence (SV) and provide opportunities to advance prevention and response. The goal of this qualitative study was to explore the perspectives of higher education personnel involved in SV prevention and response with college student-athletes. We conducted semistructured interviews with participants at four public universities with National Collegiate Athletic Association …
Stakeholder-Engaged Development of a Theory-Driven, Feasible, and Acceptable Approach to Concussion Education
Concussion education is widely mandated and largely ineffective. Recent consensus guidance on concussion education asserts the importance of (1) theory-driven programming that targets the team as a system and (2) working with end users throughout the development process, and considering issues such as feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability. Consistent with this guidance, and in collaboration with youth sport stakeholders in two regions of…
Feasibility and acceptability of at-home play kits for middle school physical activity promotion during the Covid-19 pandemic
A pre-existing community organization-school partnership lent itself to a rapid response to meet student needs at a time when school staff and resources were highly constrained. The intervention developed through this collaborative response-play kits-has potential to support middle school PA during future pandemics or other conditions that necessitate remote schooling, however modifications to the intervention concept and implementation strategy …
Structural and Sport-related Barriers to Formally Reporting Sexual Violence Among Undergraduate Student-athletes
Concussion Education in the School Setting: A Scoping Review
BACKGROUND: Concussions are a prevalent injury among youth, and concussion education has the potential to promote positive concussion-related behaviors. Recent recommendations and legislation have increased concussion education provided in schools; however, little is known about the education context, delivery method, development, and evaluation. A scoping review was conducted to identify peer-reviewed literature on concussion education delivered…
A qualitative study of factors influencing adult stakeholder concussion communication with youth athletes
Research suggests adult stakeholder (coach, referee and administrator) communication about concussion influences the likelihood of athletes reporting concussive symptoms. The goal of this study was to develop a conceptual model to describe factors contributing to adult stakeholder (AS) concussion communication with youth athletes, to inform future concussion education interventions. We conducted a qualitative interview study with n = 63 AS in you…
Park access and mental health among parents and children during the Covid-19 pandemic
Park access was associated with better mental health among children and parents, and more parent physical activity and parent-child co-participation in outdooractivity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to nearby parks may be an important resource to promote health and well-being, for both individuals and families
Socioeconomic Inequities in Youth Participation in Physical Activity and Sports
Access to opportunities for physical activity and sports, and therefore potential benefits of participation, are distributed inequitably. The aims of this study were to describe and compare youth experiences related to sport and physical activity by socioeconomic factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted of students in 5–12th grades in King County, Washington, USA. Students were asked about physical activity and sports experiences and about…
Needs assessment for physical activity information during Covid-19 among a nationally representative sample of parents and children ages 6–17 in the United States: A cross-sectional study
Background The COVID-19 pandemic presented novel barriers to youth physical activity engagement. Identifying what resources parents and children are interested in receiving can support efforts to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic on youth physical activity behavior. This study aimed to identify physical activity-related information needs during the COVID-19 pandemic among a nationally representative sample of American parents of childr…
Stress, self-compassion, and well-being during the transition to college
Community‐Engaged Approach to the Development and Implementation of a Student‐Centered Return to Learn Care Plan After Concussion
BACKGROUND: Current return to learn (RTL) after concussion guidelines lack specificity for individualized student care, limiting potential for adoption and implementation. We used a community-engaged research framework to develop and evaluate the implementation of a student-centered care plan that assists school personnel in facilitating RTL. METHODS: We used best-practice RTL guidelines and input from administrators and medical experts to iterat…
