In this presentation, I will provide an overview of my research that has examined psychosocial aspects of sport-related concussions. In particular, I will share the results of some of our qualitative work that has detailed the lived experiences of concussed athletes, and how this injury has influenced their recovery and return to sport.
In addition, Geoffrey Dover, Associate Professor, Health Kinesiology and Applied Physiology, Concordia University, will give a brief talk titled "Athlete Fear Avoidance, Depression, and Anxiety Are Associated with Acute Concussion Symptoms" prior to Dr. Caron's talk.
