Race/ethnicity, sex, and age differences in pediatric SCAT-5 concussion symptoms
Concussion symptom endorsement on the SCAT-5 Symptom Evaluation did not appear to be affected by race/ethnicity or age. However, consistent with existing literature, females reported higher endorsement of concussion symptoms than males and therefore may merit special consideration in evaluation of symptoms. Future research should examine the intersection of other sociodemographic variables with race/ethnicity and should consider the influence of respondent (child vs. parent) in studies of this age cohort.
