What is the goal of this study?

We want to find ways to improve care for youth with continued symptoms after a concussion.

Who can join the study?

This study might be a good fit for you and your child if:

  • Your child is between 11 to 18 years old.
  • Your child has had a sports-related concussion and is still having symptoms 4 weeks or more after injury.

What will happen if my child takes part in this study?

If you and your child decide to take part in the study, you would:

  • Complete four study assessments over 12 months
  • Be randomly assigned to continue with your current treatment (“usual care”) OR receive a study treatment (usual care plus “collaborative care”)
