OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the awareness of concussion-related symptoms amongst
members of the sports community in Canada. METHODS: A cross-sectional national
electronic survey was conducted. Youth athletes, parents, coaches and medical
professionals across Canada were recruited through mailing lists from
sports-related opt-in marketing databases. Participants were asked to identify,
from a list of options, the symptoms of a concussion. The proportion of
identified symptoms (categorized as physical, cognitive, mental health-related
and overall) as well as participant factors associated with symptom recognition
were analyzed. RESULTS: The survey elicited 6,937 responses. Most of the
respondents (92.1%) completed the English language survey, were male (57.7%),
35-54 years of age (61.7%), with post-secondary education (58.2%), or high
reported yearly household income (>$80,000; 53.0%). There were respondents from
all provinces and territories with the majority of respondents from Ontario
(35.2%) or British Columbia (19.1%). While participants identified most of the
physical (mean = 84.2% of symptoms) and cognitive (mean = 91.2% of symptoms),
they on average only identified 53.5% of the mental health-related symptoms of
concussions. Respondents who were older, with higher education and household
income, or resided in the Northwest Territories or Alberta identified
significantly more of the mental health-related symptoms listed. INTERPRETATION:
While Canadian youth athletes, parents, coaches and medical professionals are
able to identify most of the physical and cognitive symptoms associated with
concussion, identification of mental health-related symptoms of concussion is
still lagging.
