Research looks at student athletes' attitudes toward concussions

From DoctorsLounge.com/HealthDay News (10/23):

More than half of 134 high-school football players who experienced concussion-like symptoms said they failed to seek medical attention for fear of being removed from play, a study found. Although 53% of the respondents noted that they were more aware of concussion signs at present than they were when starting high school, only 38% expressed concerns about the lasting effects of such injuries. The findings were presented at the AAP national conference.
