This study examined rates of concussions and concussion reporting among student athletes at Waukee High School in Waukee, Iowa compared to national averages. A survey of Waukee High School athletes found that the rate of reported concussions was 47.1%, compared to the national average of 20%. The rate of athletes hiding concussions was also higher in Waukee at 31.4% versus 27.5% nationally. The results suggest concussion rates are statistically higher in Waukee. Possible reasons discussed include greater medical awareness and treatment in the district. More research is needed to better understand factors contributing to the differences.
This study compared rates of concussions and hiding concussions among Waukee High School athletes to national averages. A survey of Waukee athletes found higher rates of reported concussions (47.1% vs the national average of 20%) and similar rates of hiding concussions compared to national data. While the hypothesis was that rates would be lower in Waukee, the results showed statistically higher concussion rates. Possible reasons discussed included over-reporting in the survey or higher medical awareness in Waukee. The study aimed to raise awareness of concussion issues and advance research skills.
1) Tracking student progress over time through a shared tracking system and regularly reviewing information can help identify students experiencing academic or behavioral problems or who are at risk of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).
2) Providing volunteers and staff with brief training on common ACEs faced by the community and strategies to support students can help strengthen relationships between students and mentors.
3) Integrating ACE prevention, early detection, and community support are recommended to interrupt the intergenerational cycle of ACEs and promote resilience among students attending the Out-of-School Time program.
According to the survey of Canadian parents:
- Two-thirds see attention deficit disorders and behaviour disorders as the top children's mental health issues. Improving access to and coordination of services were priorities.
- For most problem behaviors, 20-25% of parents would seek immediate professional help, while similar numbers would try managing on their own or monitoring the situation. Risky behaviors and bedwetting prompted more seeking help.
- The family doctor is parents' primary contact for children's mental health issues. Friends and family are also important sources of advice and support.

The document discusses adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and their lifelong health impacts based on findings from the seminal ACE Study. It summarizes that experiencing ACEs is common and increases risks for negative health, social, and economic outcomes. Two organizations, Prevent Child Abuse Tennessee and The Family Center, have administered ACE assessments to clients and found high rates of ACEs, particularly household dysfunction and abuse. The organizations work to administer assessments sensitively and use results to tailor services, promote understanding of trauma, and empower clients through a prevention lens.
Emotional Health and Foster Care AdolescentsSarah Parks
This document proposes a research study to evaluate the impact of the foster care system in South Carolina on the emotional health of adolescents. It will use a mixed methods approach, including focus groups and the Beck Youth Inventory quantitative assessment. The focus groups will gather perspectives from males and females ages 13-18 across the state from different foster care situations. Questions will address emotional state, experiences impacting emotional health, and how the system maintains emotional well-being. The study aims to better understand how the system affects teens and identify opportunities for improvement.
The document summarizes research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). It describes the original ACE study which found that two-thirds of participants reported at least one ACE. ACEs are interrelated and occur in clusters, with increased ACE scores correlated to higher risks of health problems, risky behaviors, and lower life potential. The document recommends promoting resilience and protective factors to reduce the prevalence and impact of ACEs.
The document summarizes research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and their relationship to long-term health outcomes. It discusses two major studies - the ongoing CDC/Kaiser Permanente ACE study of over 17,000 patients, and the 2011 Oregon BRFSS survey where over 4,000 adults responded to ACE questions. Both studies found ACEs like abuse, neglect and household dysfunction to be common, and correlated with increased risk of health problems, disease, and unhealthy behaviors later in life. The document advocates for preventing ACEs through community programs that encourage safe relationships and healthy development for children and families.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction can negatively impact brain development and have lifelong physical, mental, and behavioral consequences if not properly addressed. Studies show that ACEs are strongly correlated with increased risks of health problems, disease, and early death in adulthood. Addressing ACEs through safe, stable, and nurturing relationships and trauma-informed practices can help break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Adverse Childhood Experiences: What We Know About TennesseeHealth Easy Peasy
Early childhood experiences and environments can have significant impacts on brain development and long-term health and well-being. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, are unfortunately common and can disrupt brain architecture and increase health risks like heart disease and substance abuse later in life. However, protective factors like strong relationships and social support can help buffer children from trauma. Tennessee is working to increase awareness of ACEs and support children and families through strategies like universal home visiting programs and promoting positive parenting.
The document summarizes research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. The original ACE Study found that ACEs are common, often occur in clusters, and have strong links to health risks and diseases in adulthood. Individuals with 4 or more ACEs are at greatly increased risk for cancer, heart disease, depression, suicide attempts, drug use, and other negative outcomes. While childhood trauma can disrupt brain development and impact health and behavior, building supportive relationships and teaching coping skills can help mitigate negative impacts and break intergenerational cycles of trauma.
This document provides an overview of a student's independent study comparing holistic and alternative approaches to ADD/ADHD versus drug-based pharmaceutical approaches. The student conducted interviews with six holistic practitioners and six individuals with ADD/ADHD. The document discusses what ADD/ADHD is, statistics on rising diagnosis and drug use in America, potential contributing factors, controversies around diagnosis and treatment, biomedical and pharmaceutical approaches, and highlights from interviews with herbalists and homeopaths on alternative treatments. The goal was to explore holistic practitioner perspectives and how individuals manage ADD/ADHD.

This document discusses the debate around how young is too young for children to start playing competitive sports. It notes potential negative physical effects like injuries and concussions from starting sports at a young age. However, it also outlines positive effects on physical fitness and mental health from sports participation when done appropriately. In conclusion, there are good arguments on both sides, and parents must decide what is best for their individual children.
The document discusses how untreated and undiagnosed mental health issues in parents and children hurt families. Approximately one in five adults in the US experiences mental illness in a given year, equating to over 2.7 million adults in Florida alone. However, many children and parents do not receive needed treatment. This can negatively impact children's well-being and development. It also increases families' involvement with the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The current approach in these systems focuses on short-term case management rather than long-term treatment, which is what is needed to effectively address underlying mental health and substance abuse issues. Moving to a treatment-based model that provides comprehensive, family-focused support could help keep more families together
Family Critical Time Intervention (FCTI) is a time-limited case management model that provides intensive support to homeless families transitioning to stable housing. It has three stages: transition to community, practicing independent living skills, and transferring care to community supports. FCTI aims to strengthen family ties, provide clinical support, and promote housing stability through motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and connecting families to resources. Research shows FCTI families have less time homeless and children have better outcomes than families receiving usual services.

This document discusses epilepsy and its impact on human rights and quality of life. It notes that epilepsy accounts for 0.75% of the global burden of disease and results in economic costs including lost productivity. People with epilepsy often face discrimination and social stigma. They may experience reduced access to health insurance, driving licenses, and some occupations. Legislation is needed to prevent discrimination and improve access to healthcare and quality of life for those with epilepsy. The document also discusses factors that impact quality of life such as seizure frequency, medication side effects, psychological issues, social functioning, academic achievement, and family stress. Mortality is higher for those with epilepsy due to a variety of causes that differ between countries depending on available resources and conditions.
This document summarizes research from the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study, which found strong associations between adverse experiences in childhood (such as abuse, neglect, household dysfunction) and negative health and social outcomes later in life. The ACE Study showed that two-thirds of participants reported at least one ACE, with higher ACE scores correlated with increased risk for health problems (like heart disease and cancer), mental health issues, risky behaviors, and early death. Further research cited found high rates of ACEs among at-risk groups like juvenile delinquents and Head Start children, as well as links between ACEs and problems with learning, behavior, and health among young children and students.
This document discusses the socioeconomic impact of pediatric sleep disorders. It finds that pediatric sleep disorders can increase direct health care costs, with one study in Australia finding an additional $27.5 million in annual health care costs. Pediatric sleep disorders are also linked to increased rates of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, behavioral issues, and car accidents in teenage drivers due to sleep deprivation. Delaying school start times by even 30 minutes resulted in decreased car crashes, improved moods, and less daytime sleepiness in students. Overall, the document suggests that pediatric sleep disorders present significant socioeconomic costs but that early diagnosis and treatment can help offset these costs.
There is no scientific consensus on a link between immunization shots and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). While some studies have found potential connections, most research rejects a link and identifies genetic factors as a basis for ASD. The prevalence of ASD diagnoses has increased significantly in recent decades, coinciding with rising immunization rates, fueling parental concerns. However, later studies discredited early research finding links and identified flaws in methodology and small sample sizes in studies supporting a link. The causes of ASD remain unclear, but effective education programs can help improve outcomes for children with ASD. Further research is still needed to fully address parental concerns and further understanding of ASD.

This document discusses policies around drugs and families. It begins by outlining an agenda covering societal shifts in views of marijuana as seen through Job Corps policies, the implications of trauma on families, and whether marijuana use should be considered an adverse childhood experience (ACE). It then provides details on the changing views and legal status of marijuana in different states. The document discusses the implications of increased legalization, including risks of edible marijuana and consequences like increased hospitalizations for mental illness and suicides. It outlines how trauma impacts childhood development and families. The conclusion discusses whether marijuana use should be considered an ACE due to health risks and implications for families. The importance of humor and coping is also noted.
The document provides information on mental health, mental stress, and mental illness. It discusses maintaining good mental health through diet, exercise, sleep, reducing substances, and spending quality time with loved ones.

The document recommends seeking professional help if mental health symptoms worsen.
Natural Treatment of Health Impairment SymptomsKerri Beisner
This document provides an introduction and literature review on natural treatment approaches for health impairments like ADHD compared to prescribed medication. It notes that while medication is effective in treating ADHD symptoms, natural alternatives may provide benefits without side effects. The prevalence of ADHD diagnoses and medication use has greatly increased in the US compared to other countries. Pharmaceutical companies have profited greatly from this trend through marketing directly to doctors, parents and children. Their advertisements have broadened the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis. While medication controls symptoms, natural treatments could provide alternative strategies without long term impacts from medications.

Creating a Needs Assessment
In this assignment, create a needs assessment outline that describes and documents the health status issue that your project will address and the target population it will serve. The purpose of the needs assessment is to help reviewers understand the community and/or organization (i.e., the population) that will be served by your proposed project.
The needs assessment document should describe the need for the project in the proposed locale and include baseline data on the prevalence and demographic characteristics of the targeted population as well as supporting racial/ethnic data. The document should provide a description of the prevalence of health indicators (e.g., overweight, obesity) in the proposed geographic area. It should describe the current availability of preventive health services that address the health issue in the targeted group. In addition, discuss any relevant barriers in the service area that your project hopes to overcome. You should also describe gaps in the current provision of services as well as gaps in knowledge and the capacity of health care providers and key public/private community agencies to adequately screen, routinely assess, effectively intervene, and/or coordinate their efforts within a comprehensive network of preventive health services.
Here is a suggested structure for your needs assessment outline. It should be between 3 and 5 pages in length.
I. Health Status
a. Introduce the health issue
b. How does the health issue affect the target population?
II. Community Description
a. Describe the setting, which might include national, state, local, or campus
information depending on the program scope

Mental Health in College Students
Mental health is a serious public health issue that impacts society at large. It includes mental conditions, depression, anxiety, and physical symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, headaches, and back pain. When compared to other people, college students are routinely found to experience high rates of mental distress. For example, compared with the rest population, Australian medical students exhibited much higher levels of psychological distress. According to studies, mental anguish is more common among college students in Asian and Sub-Saharan African countries. According to Mboya et al. (2020), the largest incidence reported was 71.9 percent among medical students at Jizan Higher education institution in Saudi Arabia, almost identical to the percentage observ ...

This document discusses the potential for using video games to promote health-related behavior change in children. It summarizes 27 articles on 25 video games that have been used experimentally to teach nutrition, increase physical activity, and address other health topics. Many of these games combine storytelling, interactivity, and behavior change techniques. The document argues that further research is needed to understand how best to design game stories, fantasy elements, interactivity, and behavior change features to maximize health impacts. It also notes the large amounts of time children spend playing video games, representing an opportunity to engage them around health through this entertaining medium.

Sports Specialization and Intensive
Training in Young Athletes
Joel S. Brenner, MD, MPH, FAAP, COUNCIL ON SPORTS MEDICINE AND FITNESS
Clinical Report – Reaffirmed With Reference & Data Updates February 2021
This Clinical Report has been reaffirmed with reference and data updates.
New or updated references and datapoints are indicated in bold typeface.
No other changes have been made to the text or content.
Sports specialization is becoming the norm in youth sports for a variety
of reasons. When sports specialization occurs too early, detrimental
effects may occur, both physically and psychologically. If the timing is
correct and sports specialization is performed under the correct
conditions, the athlete may be successful in reaching specific goals.
Young athletes who train intensively, whether specialized or not, can
also be at risk of adverse effects on the mind and body. The purpose of
this clinical report is to assist pediatricians in counseling their young
athlete patients and their parents regarding sports specialization and
intensive training. This report supports the American Academy of
Pediatrics clinical report “Overuse Injuries, Overtraining, and Burnout
in Child and Adolescent Athletes.”
INTRODUCTION
Youth sports culture has changed dramatically over the past 40 years.1
It is less common today to see a group of young children congregate
in a neighborhood to play a “pick-up” game without any adult
influence. The norm has become for children and adolescents to
participate in organized sports driven by coaches and parents, often
with different goals for the game than its young participants. It is also
less common now to have a multisport athlete in middle or high
school, because the norm has become for young athletes to specialize
in a single sport at younger ages. There is increased pressure to
participate at a high level, to specialize in 1 sport early, and to play
year-round, often on multiple teams. This increased emphasis on
sports specialization has led to an increase in overuse injuries,
overtraining, and burnout.1–3

Adverse Childhood Experiences and Child Health in Early AdolescenceJAMA Pediatrics
The study examined the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, and health problems in early adolescence. Over 90% of adolescents had experienced at least one ACE. Exposure to multiple ACEs was strongly associated with poor health, illness, and somatic concerns. Recent ACE exposure had the strongest links to poor adolescent health outcomes. The findings suggest that reducing ACEs could improve adolescent and lifelong health.

The impact of athletics and extracurricular activities on academic performanc...MollieMcGee1
This literature review examines the relationship between extracurricular activities and academic achievement for different demographic groups. The review found that:
- Females who participate in athletics tend to have higher GPAs than males.
- Students from low socioeconomic backgrounds benefit greatly from participation, which is linked to higher educational aspirations and college graduation rates.
- Involvement helps racial/ethnic minority students ease social transitions and improves time management skills.
- While 25% of teens struggle with mental health issues, participation may reduce stress and correlate with better academic performance.
- Students get more involved in extracurriculars to strengthen their college applications by standing out.
The review concludes that more research
This document discusses research on the relationship between physical activity and academic achievement in school-aged children. It finds that aerobic fitness activities at high intensities for a certain duration and frequency produced the strongest academic results. Specifically, it was found that aerobic exercise had a large effect on mental processing, and that greater aerobic fitness as measured by PACER tests was positively correlated with math and reading test scores. The document analyzes different studies on the effects of various types and amounts of physical activity.
This study examined the impact of healthy lifestyle choices, stress, and self-esteem among college students. Specifically, it investigated whether exercise predicts healthy choices, athletic involvement impacts choices and stress, and gender or international status affect choices. Surveys measured stress, self-esteem, diet, exercise and lifestyle. Results showed exercise predicts healthier choices. Athletes reported healthier choices and more stress than non-athletes. Gender and international status did not impact choices. The study aimed to educate students on making healthy decisions and managing stress.
This document describes a proposed study to investigate the physical activity interests and participation of students with disabilities at West Virginia University. The study aims to (1) understand past physical activity of these students, (2) identify current activities, and (3) gather suggestions for future offerings. A survey will be distributed to collect data on activities before and during college. The results could help the university determine if current programming is sufficient and identify new classes to support physical activity among students with disabilities.
This document discusses anxiety levels among college students. It notes that college is a stressful time with high workloads, activities, and expectations that can trigger anxiety. Statistics show anxiety is very common among college students. While college environments increase stress, activities like exercise can help reduce it. A study found students with high physical activity had lower anxiety and stress. The document emphasizes the importance of physical fitness for college student mental and physical health.
This document outlines an agenda for a discussion on integrating new science related to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress into child welfare policy, practice, and decision-making. The discussion aims to increase understanding of how early adversity impacts long-term health and well-being, examine the national policy direction on prioritizing child well-being, and provide examples of how others have applied this science. Participants will determine actions they can take to promote child well-being within their spheres of influence. The discussion includes sections on the science of ACEs and toxic stress, the impact on brain development and long-term outcomes, and applying this knowledge in child welfare.
The document discusses youth sports concussions, including known information and unknown areas that require further research. It summarizes current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) activities focused on understanding concussion burden and changing youth sports culture. Key known facts are provided about athletes, coaches, parents, and healthcare providers. Many unknowns remain around concussion prevalence, prevention strategies, identification and response. Research priorities include evaluating intervention effectiveness and understanding long-term outcomes. The document concludes that while knowledge has increased, gaps remain in behaviors and more data is needed to keep young athletes safe.
The document is a grant application for a study aimed at preventing concussions in youth sports. It proposes implementing and evaluating an interactive concussion prevention intervention for middle school students. The intervention would use an app called "RcRn" to educate students on recognizing, reporting, and responding to concussions. The study would assess students' concussion knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors before and after the intervention through surveys and focus groups to evaluate the intervention's effectiveness. The overall goal is to develop concussion prevention programs for middle school physical education curriculums.
This study investigated the relationships between childhood trauma, psychological symptoms, and barriers to seeking mental health care among college students. It was hypothesized that childhood trauma would be correlated with both psychological symptoms and barriers to care, and that psychological symptoms would mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and barriers. Participants completed questionnaires measuring these constructs. Results found childhood trauma was correlated with both psychological symptoms and barriers to care. Psychological symptoms also mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and barriers, such that the relationship was weaker when accounting for psychological symptoms. This suggests childhood trauma influences barriers indirectly through its effect on increasing psychological symptoms.

Abstract
Currently in today’s society there is growing
controversy over the staggering number of
concussions athletic teens receive. There have
been many national statistics about concussion
related issues, but has there been any studies in
Waukee, Iowa? This Twitter poll study was
conducted to compare and contrast the rates of
athletic teen concussion related issues from
Waukee High School to the national average. A
recent survey from Waukee High School athletic
students suggests that current concussion related
issue rates in Iowa are higher than the national
average. The average rate of concussions in
athletic high school students nationally is 20%1,
while the student reported average rate of
concussions in Waukee High School is 47.1%.
The average rate of athletic high school students
nationally hiding a concussion is 27.5% while the
average rate of athletic high school students in
Waukee High School hiding their concussion is
31.4%. In conclusion, there are statistically
higher rates of concussion related issues in
Waukee than the national average. This matters
because the concussions today can affect the
health issues tomorrow.
Introduction
In the U.S., concussions have been in the media
lately and have been a hot topic with high school
sports. In the last 10 years, the CDC reported
that the amount of concussions has doubled. 1
The American Academy of Pediatrics states that
the amount of emergency room visits for kids
ranging from 8 to 13 years has doubled and the
amount of concussions from teens ranging from
14 to 19 years has increased by 200% from
1997-2007. 2 In Iowa, all athletes and parents are
required to sign a state mandated concussion
form as shown in Figure 1. We hypothesized
rates would be lower for Waukee due to better
quality equipment and more awareness with
families and students.

Methods
⚫️ Waukee high school athletes were surveyed
on Twitter in Fall 2015 using a Google survey
questioning them about concussions and the
sports they participate in at Waukee High School.
⚫️ APEX collected and analyzed the data to
statistically prove that Waukee is either significant
or not significant with the data of Waukee
reported concussions compared to the National
average.
⚫️ To prove that Waukee does or does not have a
statistically significant difference in concussion
rates, we used the Z-score.
Results
Discussion
After we found the results, we decided to discuss
them with our high school football coach, Mr.
Scott Carlson. One option discussed was that
many students stated they had a concussion, but
a doctor didn't necessarily diagnose it. There
could be over-reporting in our survey because we
did not access medical records of the students to
verify results. Some concussions could be more
or less severe than others. Mr. Carlson does
want to see improvements in high school football
overall. He suggested blood tests to diagnose
concussions, improvements to the teaching of
football and the equipment as possibilities. Mr.
Carlson wanted to use a test of basic information
that they test at the beginning of the season to
see if they can answer the questions the same
way to see if they suffer from a concussion or
head trauma from a big hit.
Conclusions
In this study, our objectives were to 1) evaluate if the State
of Iowa mandated concussion form that all athletes must
sign is adequate, 2) raise awareness about concussion
related issues for high school students, and 3) advance our
professional skills. In conclusion, we were wrong with our
hypothesis and we found that concussion rates seem to be
higher in Waukee than the National average. The higher
rates could be linked to higher medical awareness and
treatment in our district. More medical based scientific
studies would need to be conducted in order to assess
these theories. In the future, we would like to compare
legislation between different state governments over athletic
high school students and have surveys in those states. Now
one question we have where do we go from here? We
would like to specifically compare high schools in Iowa and
in other states. We would like to compare the types of
legislation and the effects on it for concussion related
issues. We believe legislation is another potentially
significant factor in concussion related issues.

What is a concussion?
A concussion is a brain injury. Concussions are caused by a
bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body. Even a “ding,” “getting
your bell rung,” or what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the
head can be serious.
What parents/guardians should do if they think
their child has a concussion?
1. OBEY THE NEW LAW.
a. Keep your child out of participation until s/he is cleared to
return by a licensed healthcare provider.
b. Seek medical attention right away.
2. Teach your child that it’s not smart to play with a concussion.
3. Tell all of your child’s coaches and the student’s
school nurse about ANY concussion.
What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion?
You cannot see a concussion. Signs and symptoms of concussion
can show up right after the injury or may not appear or be noticed
until days after the injury. If your teen reports one or more symptoms
of concussion listed below, or if you notice the symptoms yourself,
keep your teen out of play and seek medical attention right away .
STUDENTS:
If you think you have a concussion:
• Tell your coaches & parents – Never ignore a bump or
blow to the head, even if you feel fine. Also, tell your coach if
you think one of your teammates might have a concussion.
• Get a medical check-up – A physician or other licensed
health care provider can tell you if you have a concussion, and
when it is OK to return to play.
• Give yourself time to heal – If you have a concussion,
your brain needs time to heal. While your brain is healing,
you are much more likely to have another concussion. It is
important to rest and not return to play until you get the OK
from your health care professional.
IT’S BETTER TO MISS ONE CONTEST THAN THE WHOLE SEASON.
