A recent report by Memmini and colleagues identifies key principles of return-to-learn for college athletes to explore how non-athletes fare in the college classroom after a concussion.

Scientists have found that athletes with baseline comorbid depression and anxiety reported more symptoms on the Post-Concussion Symptom Scale, without having a recent concussion, than the post-concussion athletes who had a healthy mood at baseline.

Zachary Napora, an internship alum, said, "I had a long-term concussion, was looking for answers, and just stumbled upon the website and got a lot of help from Concussion Alliance. When I recovered, I went back on the website, saw they had an internship program and applied from there.” His interview was one in a series about how Concussion Alliance impacted interns' lives going forward.

A recent study in the Journal of Athletic Training explored the role of mental health in predicting lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries (LE MSK) after sports-related concussions in NCAA student-athletes. Previous research has found that the rate of LE MSK is elevated post-concussion, although the cause of this increased rate is unknown. In addition, poorer mental health is common post-concussion.

Concussion Alliance is pleased to announce a PR Newswire press release about our comprehensive, evidence-based set of concussion resources for college students, educators, and administrators. The press release was written by Melissa Sodko, MPH(c), as part of her intern practicum for her degree at Tulane University. AP News and at least 60 news outlets picked up the story.

A study found that college athletes who sustained non-sports-related concussions reported their injury at lower rates, had higher symptom severity, and had longer-lasting symptoms than those who has sports-related concussions.
