What is the story behind your study?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Dr. Lumba-Brown led work pioneering concussion subtypes which include a focus anxiety and mood disruption symptoms.\u00a0 Clinically, including in acute settings, a subset of patients with mild traumatic brain injury\/concussion describe mood-based symptoms that may be related to the pathophysiology of brain injury.\u00a0 To explore this further, this study sought to understand the prevalence of anxiety and mood-disruption symptoms and related factors in this cohort.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In your own words, what did you find?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Anxiety and mood disruption symptoms are common among college student-athletes, both prior to injury and following mild traumatic brain injury. Almost ALL student-athletes will experience symptoms of anxiety and\/or mood disruption following concussion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was the main challenge you faced in your study?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

While several mood-based symptoms were examined, these symptoms only represent a handful of mental health descriptors \u2013 mental health symptoms following mild TBI may be more prevalent than represented by this study.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If there is one take-home message from your study, what would that be? <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Symptoms of anxiety and mood disruption among collegiate athletes are common, even at baseline and prior to mild TBI. These results represent a call to action for academic institutions to improve screening and support of mental health in collegiate athletes, both pre and post-injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
