RSiCC (Childhood Concussions) - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study so that we can build a risk model that helps healthcare professionals better understand which children may have more trouble after a concussion. We collect data through surveys and saliva samples over the course of 1 year. Our ultimate goal is to improve recovery and support for kids with concussions.

What is Involved?
If you choose to have your child join this study, you and they will have 6 remote visits with our study team over one year.
At each visit, you will complete brief surveys about symptoms, thinking and memory, fatigue, social life, and school activities. They will also provide saliva samples, which help us study the body's response to concussion. The first visit takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and all the follow-up visits take less than 30 minutes.
