This toolkit was developed by the Federal-Provincial/Territorial Working Group on Concussions in Sport to support jurisdictions across Canada to implement activities during Concussion Awareness Week.
This study published in February 2020 by BMC Public Health has Parachute President and CEO Pamela Fuselli among its co-authors. The Youth Concussion Awareness Network (You-CAN) is a school-based peer-led program designed to increase high school students’ intent to report a concussion, and provide social support to a peer. This study aims to investigate whether participation in You-CAN, a program grounded in service learning principles, impacts concussion knowledge, attitudes, intent to report a suspected concussion to an adult, and intent to provide social support to a peer. Secondary aims include assessing the implementation fidelity and acceptability of the intervention.
