MPH Program graduate: One standard needed to track concussions
Data in sports concussion studies will continue to be disputed as long as the injuries are diagnosed by differing standards instead of universal guidelines. That’s the conclusion of Oscar D. Guillamondegui, M.D., MPH, associate professor of Neurological Surgery at Vanderbilt, in a review of a study on concussion incidence among peewee, youth and college football players. The review appeared Oct. 6 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the parent publication to JAMA Pediatrics, which published the study in July.
