KidsHealth Poll: Concussions
A Hit to the Head – Now What?
KidsHealth surveyed 500 parents and coaches about concussions. We found that almost half of parents – and even some coaches - don’t know the correct steps to take after a hit to the head.
The video below helps explain what to do when a kid gets a head injury while playing. Share our video to spread the word!
"This survey shows parents are concerned. The next step is making sure moms and dads know what to do if they think their child has a concussion."
