Brief Summary

Investigators will conduct a pilot efficacy test of a decision aid about contact sport participation post-concussion.

Detailed Description

The clinical trial portion of this study will enroll 40 adolescents and their parent/caregiver who are seen in the Sports Medicine clinic with a diagnosis of concussion. 20 will receive usual care, and 20 will receive a decision aid to facilitate the decision making process about sport participation post-concussion. Adolescents and their parent/caregiver will complete separate surveys at a minimum of three timepoints: before their initial clinic visit, after each clinic visit (up until a decision regarding sports participation post-concussion is made), and three months after their first clinic visit. The study team will also conduct surveys with clinicians about their experiences with implementation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Decisional Regret3 months after initial clinic visit

We will use the 5-item Decisional Regret Scale to measure personal perceptions of regret when considering the decision previously made about sports participation post-concussion. Responses are on a 5-point Likert scale, from (1) strongly agree to (5) strongly disagree.

Change in Quality of Choice Made1 week before clinic visit, Immediately after clinic visit

We will use the 10-item Decisional Conflict Scale-Low Literacy version to measure parent and adolescent perceptions of certainty in making the decision to return to sports after concussion recovery.

Decision Self-Efficacy1 week before clinic visit

We will use the 12-item Decision Self-Efficacy Scale to measure parent and adolescent perceptions that they are informed about options, risks, and benefits in making the decision to return to sport post-concussion.

Patient-Parent-Provider EngagementImmediately after clinic visit

We will use the 19-item Decision Making Involvement Scale to assess engagement and perceived support in the decision making process.

Secondary Outcome Measures
