Summary

This study tested a decision aid designed to help adolescents, parents, and healthcare providers make shared decisions about returning to contact sports after a concussion. Researchers measured how much regret families felt about their choices, how confident they were in the decision, and how involved everyone felt. The goal was to see if the tool improves communication and satisfaction, not to treat or cure the concussion itself.
