If you’ve ever had a concussion, please participate in this senior research study on gender disparities during concussion recovery. Participation in the study includes filling out a single survey that should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.

This research will be used to determine a correlation between gender and symptom severity and the recovery rates of concussions. We hope this research will be beneficial for developing better treatment plans and guidelines for concussions.

For more information, contact Kaitlyn Springer at kspringer19@georgefox.edu.
