Brain health in Norwegian female former top-level football players: a protocol for a longitudinal cohort study
The study has been approved by the South-East Regional Ethics Committee for Medical Research in Norway (2023/178330) and the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research (SIKT). A Data Protection Impact Assessment was developed by the research group and approved by SIKT and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. We will disseminate the results through peer-reviewed publications, academic conference presentations and webinars. We will communicate with the public and key stakeholders in football worldwide to inform and promote the development and implementation of potential preventive measures based on our study findings.
