Description
The testing is hosted by the Concussion Surveillance and Management Project led by Health IMPACTS for Florida, a community research project.
Walk-ins are welcome during the event hours.
Trained UF students will evaluate participants using the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT3), a standardized method of assessing concussion. Baseline concussion tests collect information on how an individual normally performs on the test, which may help health professionals make treatment decisions if a concussion is suspected in the future. Participants will receive a printed copy of their test results to share with health care providers in the event of a possible concussion. They also may opt to have their results de-identified and included in a database to assist future concussion research in children and help improve the SCAT3.
Athlete Brain, a student organization affiliated with UFs College of Public Health and Health Professions, also will provide concussion-related resources and information. The organization promotes concussion awareness and education in the community.
