Summary

This study tested a program called TEaM to improve how doctors and schools support children after a mild traumatic brain injury (concussion). The program included training for doctors and tools to help them communicate with schools and families. Researchers enrolled 101 children and measured their symptoms, quality of life, and return to normal activities. The goal was to see if this coordinated approach leads to better recovery outcomes.
