More recently, advocates have emerged to educate about sports concussions and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), including the Concussion Legacy Foundation (CLF). CTE is a neurodegenerative disease caused in part by repetitive head impacts (RHI). While the majority of CTE research has focused on studying former American football players, CTE has also been found in military personnel, victims of domestic violence, and contact sport athletes from high school to professional levels of play. Advocates' many goals include creating a culture of brain donation and modifying youth contact sports to decrease RHI. Here, we provide the first review of CTE advocacy, summarize the accomplishments of the CLF, and consider the connections between CTE advocacy, research, and legislation over the last decade.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1713621","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,26]],"date-time":"2020-07-26T22:34:31Z","timestamp":1595802871000},"page":"461-468","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Chronic
