Besides the 2013 University of Washington study, a number of
other recent studies have found education ineffective
in improving self - reporting by athletes, adding to a growing body of evidence challenging the conventional wisdom that inadequate athlete concussion knowledge is the principal barrier to increased reporting, and suggesting that one of the best
ways to combat underreporting by athletes of concussion symptoms may be to shift the focus of educational efforts towards
helping coaches facilitate concussion reporting, the theory being that athletes will be more likely to report concussion symptoms if they no longer think that they will be punished by the coach for reporting, such as by losing playing time or their starting position, perceived by their teammates as letting them down, or viewed by their coach as «weak,» all of which have been documented
in numerous studies over the past decade as reasons athletes are reluctant to report concussion symptoms.
