Objective:Parents may use various information sources to obtain information about sport-related concussions(SRC).This study examined SRC-related information sources used by parents of United States middle school children(age:10-15 years).Methods:A panel of 1083 randomly selected U.S.residents,aged≥18 years and identifying as parents of middle school children,completed an online questionnaire capturing parental and child characteristics,and utilization and perceived trustworthiness of various sources of SRC-related information.Multivariable logistic regression models identified factors associated with utilizing each source.Adjusted odds ratios(OR)with 95％confidence intervals(95％CIs)excluding 1.00 were deemed significant.Results:Doctors/healthcare providers(49.9％)and other healthcare-related resources(e.g.,Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,WebMD)(37.8％)were common SRC-related information sources;64.0％of parents utilized≥1 of these sources.Both sources were considered"very"or"extremely"trustworthy for SRC-related information among parents using these sources(doctors/healthcare pro-viders:89.8％;other healthcare-related resources:70.9％).A 10-year increase in parental age was associated with higher odds of utiliz-ing doctors/healthcare providers(adjusted odd ratio(ORadjusted)=1.09,95％CI:1.02-1.16)and other healthcare-related resources(ORadjusted=1.11,95％CI:1.03-1.19).The odds of utilizing doctors/healthcare providers(ORadjusted=0.58,95％CI:0.40-0.84)and other healthcare-related resources(ORadjusted=0.64,95％CI:0.44-0.93)were lower among parents whose middle school children had concussion histories versus the parents of children who did not have concussion histories.Conclusion:One-third of parents did not report using doctors/healthcare providers or other healthcare-related resources for SRC-related informa-tion.Factors associated with underutilization of these sources may be targets for future intervention.Continuing education for healthcare pro-viders and educational opportunities for parents should highlight accurate and up-to-date SRC-related information.
