Concussion-Related Anxiety Perceptions of Parents of Youth Athletes
This cross-sectional study explored concussion-related anxiety perceptions among parents of youth athletes aged 8 to 14 participating in high-concussion-risk sports (football, soccer, ice hockey, lacrosse) in Pennsylvania and Michigan. A total of 452 parents (60% female) completed a survey adapted from the Perceptions of Concussion Inventory for Athletes, along with demographic questions related to concussion exposure and education. A substantial proportion of parents reported being fearful, upset, worried, and anxious at the thought of their child sustaining a concussion. Parental anxiety around concussion is common and may influence decisions about youth sport participation, potentially contributing to declining enrollment in contact sports. Health care providers, including athletic trainers and pediatricians, should proactively address parental concerns, validate their anxiety, and provide targeted concussion education.
