Implementation and effect of concussion education in collegiate women's ice hockey.

Conclusions: Not all NCAA women's ice hockey players are receiving (or recall receiving) mandated concussion education from their institution. The inverse association between concussion knowledge and concussion reporting behavior, while not statistically significant, is concerning and warrants further study. More work is needed to develop educational materials about concussion that are acceptable and memorable to this population, and that help increase concussion care seeking behaviors.
