Governing bodies for professional and amateur sports are now taking concussions and their potential long-term sequelae far more seriously than even a few years ago, Dr. Lincoln said.
“I think if we look at this in terms of any other public health issue we would all be pretty outraged, so I'm kind of glad to see the outrage in society right now, and the movement on policy issues as well,” he said.
The concussion rate was consistently twice as great for girls in basketball, soccer, and baseball/softball.
