Parental Report of Significant Head Injuries in Children Aged 3-17 Years: United States, 2016.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, there has been increased awareness and prevention efforts toward reducing concussion incidence. Previous research has most often estimated the prevalence of concussions among youth using medical claims data (1–4). In the 2016 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), parents or guardians answered questions about whether their children have ever had a significant head injury or concussion. This report presents estimates of parent-reported lifetime significant head injuries among children aged 3–17 years, providing information about head injuries beyond those that were medically attended.
