Take a Stand to Protect Student Athletes from Concussion
- Support the Concussion Awareness and Education Act sponsored by Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) to implement recommendations of the Institute of Medicine in its report, “Sports-Related Concussions in Youth: Improving the Science, Changing the Culture.”
- Appropriate $5 million for the CDC to take to scale the National Concussion Surveillance System, which would provide nationally representative incidence estimates of all TBI, sports- and recreation-related TBI, and TBI-related disability as well as the ability to monitor trends over time, including at the state level. Authorization for funding was included in the Reauthorization of the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2018.
BIAA gratefully acknowledges the Centre for Neuro Skills and Avanir Pharmaceuticals for their support for legislative action.
