A National Child Health Poll on paediatric concussion: perceived knowledge, self-efficacy and concern among Australian parents
Parents reported having little knowledge about concussion and low self-efficacy in identification and management. Parents are concerned about the risk of concussion, with implications for child sport and physical activity participation. These findings identify knowledge, self-efficacy and concern about concussion risk as intervention targets within the Australian parent population.
