A sample of patients evaluated at a sports neurology clinic and their parents\/guardians participated. Patients and their parents were randomized to view either the comic only or both the comic and publicly available comic-based video. Patients and parents completed preintervention and postintervention surveys to assess likeability and concussion knowledge including concussion definition, symptoms, return-to-ED criteria, and resuming normal activity. Data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A total of 57 patients (47.4% female; mean age, 15 years) and 37 guardians were enrolled. Most (73%) concussions were sports related, with the majority having sought care within 24 hours in an ED (80%). Over half (51%) had experienced 2 or more prior concussions. Overall, 31 adolescents and 20 guardians viewed both comic and video, whereas 26 adolescents and 17 guardians viewed the comic only. Both comic and video were favorably reviewed, but a higher proportion of respondents rated the video more positively than the comic for likability (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01), comprehensibility (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), and increasing understanding (<jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Patients' knowledge of some concussion symptoms emphasized in the comic increased after reading (emotional changes, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.02; vomiting, <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.04).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patients showed increased concussion knowledge using the favorably endorsed comic-based discharge instructions.
