(20 kids) within 24 hours of injury.

****another survey
Good afternoon,
Below I have attached my survey link. The target population
would be parents, coaches, and adolescents between the ages of
14 to 19 within youth sports. I would like to receive about
400 participants within pinpointed zip codes.

Studies; Types of Study Design

The kind of study: This study is a mixed research design. As
supported by existing evidence, the mixed methods approach is
where the researcher collects, analyzes and interprets both
quantitative research- which involves surveys and experiments
and qualitative research which may involve interviews and
focus groups.
Why is it this type of research? In this research study, Lee
(2018) uses both a statistical survey, which is a form of
quantitative research and in-depth interviews which is a form of
qualitative research method in studying the impact of
relationship marketing factors of sports centers on commitment
to relationship and recommendation intentions. In its findings,
the quantitative aspect of the research established that the
relationship marketing factors like price, bonding and facility

affect commitment to relationship in a positive manner.

Greetings Class,
The article I have chosen for our forum topic is titled
“Is it Still “In the Game”; or Has Amateurism Left the
Building? NCAA Student-Athletes’ Perceptions of Commercial
Activity and Sports Video Games.” The article discusses a study
of the attitudes of college football and basketball players
regarding the use of their likenesses in video games and towards
the concept of amateurism.
This study was conducted using 5 survey questions
given to Division 1 college football and basketball players. The
survey was given to 50 football players and 7 basketball players
from 2 colleges in every division 1 college conference, totaling
272 players. All players were selected at random and split in
groups based on race, playing time, scholarship status and
divisional affiliation. The survey was designed to gauge
player’s feelings toward seeing their institutions earn money
from the player’s likeliness while they couldn’t profit from it.
What the researchers found was that there is a correlation
between player’s opinions and what group they belong to in the
study.
Results showed that black athletes were more likely to
believe they should be paid for the use of their likeness in video
games. Female athletes showed the least interest in how their
likeness was used. All but 10% of athletes agreed that they
approved of being used in video games. In conclusion, after
looking at the results the researchers believe that the NCAA

needs to conduct studies like this one to get opinions from the
people who will be directly affected before making any change
to league policy.
In my opinion this article asked appropriate questions
to bring across the point that athletes opinions should be taken
into consideration in the case of amateurism in college sports. I
personally think athletes should be compensated in some way
for their participation in athletics. The level of compensation
might not be the same for all athletes but with the amount of
money being brought in the athletes should at least see some of
that.

Bakhos and colleagues also found that
during the time period w hen reported
concussions increased, participation in
organized team sports decreased. The re-
searchers estim ated that about 385 000
children aged 7 to 17 participated in the
top 5 organized teams posts in 1997, with
the nu m b er falling to ju s t over 330 000

participants by 2007.
McCrea does n o t have h ard data, b ut
he speculated that the increasing num ber
of concussions during a tim e of apparent
declining participation in sports m ay be
the result of how those children rem ain-
ing in a sport train and compete. “Partici
pation in sports has become a year-around
commitment; you used to play football for
2 m onths and then m ove onto basketball
and then maybe track and field,” McCrea
said. “So maybe participation is down, but
for those playing, say football, the n u m -
ber o f exposures seems to be certainly
higher than seen a decade ago.”

Deciding w hen an athlete is well

a bit o f a mystery, McCrea said, because
there is little rigorous evidence to show

tic an d fu n d in g challenges since it was
a u th o rized by C ongress as p a rt o f the
C h ild ren ’s H ealth Act of 2000.
A lthough the initial estim ate o f the
stu d y ’s co st was $2.7 billio n over 25
years, su b seq u en t m edia rep o rts have
suggested it could cost m ore than twice
as m uch. It is being led by a consortium

Environm ental Health Sciences, the US
Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

began in 2000 and included in p u t from
the National Academy of Sciences. How-
ever, funding fell short of target am ounts
d u rin g the plan n in g phase, leading to
concern about the viability o f the study.
But funding levels have increased su b -
stantially since 2007, w hen the im ple-
m entation phase began, and $414.3 mil-

lion has been secured to date.
The payoff of su ch a m assive in vest-

s tu d /s pilot phase, each participating site
will use 1 o f 3 strategies for recruiting
w o m en to p articip ate: referral o f p a-
tients by practitioners; outreach efforts
to contact w om en at hom e (via adver-
tisements) and at com m unity events; and
the mailing of a questionnaire to w om en
to complete and then selection of a group
to participate further. Insights from this
phase will be used to determ ine the most
efficient and cost-effective strategies for
recruitm ent for use during the rest of the
study. C urrently, the sites are recru it-

21st b irth d a y an d m ay provide critical
in fo rm a tio n a b o u t how e n v iro n m e n -

tal and genetic factors contribute to dis-
ease. U n p reced en ted in its scope and
length, the stu d y has faced b o th logis-
tic an d fu n d in g challenges since it was
a u th o rized by C ongress as p a rt o f the
C h ild ren ’s H ealth Act of 2000.
A lthough the initial estim ate o f the
stu d y ’s co st was $2.7 billio n over 25
years, su b seq u en t m edia rep o rts have
suggested it could cost m ore than twice
as m uch. It is being led by a consortium
o f federal agencies; inclu d in g the E u-
nice K ennedy Shriver N ational In sti-
tute of Child Health and H um an Devel-
o p m e n t, th e N a tio n a l I n s t i t u t e o f
Environm ental Health Sciences, the US
Centers for Disease Control and Preven-
tion, and the US Environm ental Protec-
tion Agency. The planning for the project
began in 2000 and included in p u t from
the National Academy of Sciences. How-
ever, funding fell short of target am ounts
d u rin g the plan n in g phase, leading to
concern about the viability o f the study.
But funding levels have increased su b -
stantially since 2007, w hen the im ple-
m entation phase began, and $414.3 mil-
lion has been secured to date.
The payoff of su ch a m assive in vest-
m en t, in term s of u n iq u e in sights on
how the interaction betw een genes and
th e e n v iro n m e n t lead to b o th c h ild -
h o o d an d ad u lt disease, is expected to

be enorm ous. “W e are em barking u p o n
one o f th e ric h e st d ata-co llectio n ef-
forts ever conducted, an d the w ealth of
in fo rm a tio n we ho p e to am ass co u ld
h a v e a m a jo r im p a c t o n th e h e a lth
o f fu tu r e g e n e r a tio n s ,” sa id S tev en
H irschfeld, MD, PhD, the stu d y ’s a ct
ing directo r, in a statem ent.
T he endeavor also m ay provide in -
sights into the best ways to conduct such
a m assive research effort. D uring the
s tu d /s pilot phase, each participating site
will use 1 o f 3 strategies for recruiting
w o m en to p articip ate: referral o f p a-
tients by practitioners; outreach efforts
to contact w om en at hom e (via adver-
tisements) and at com m unity events; and
the mailing of a questionnaire to w om en
to complete and then selection of a group
to participate further. Insights from this
phase will be used to determ ine the most
efficient and cost-effective strategies for
recruitm ent for use during the rest of the
study. C urrently, the sites are recru it-
ing w o m en w ho are p reg n an t o r w ho
m ay s o o n b e c o m e p r e g n a n t fo r th e
study’s pilot phase.
Initial resu lts from this phase of the
study sh o u ld be available later this year
o r in early 2011, H irschfeld said. Early
findings from th e s tu d y m ay begin to
filter in som etim e in 2013.
