In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Erica Beidler (Duquesne University) about her recent publication, "Concussion-Related Anxiety Perceptions of Parents of Youth Athletes". They discuss how parents interpret concussion risks, the study methods focused on football, soccer, ice hockey and lacrosse, and key findings showing high levels of worry—especially among mothers and parents without personal concussion history—while prior education did not reliably lower anxiety. Takeaways include asking parents about their beliefs before giving information, tailoring communication, promoting safe sport participation, and the vital role athletic trainers play in providing person-centered, psychologically informed care.
