Predictor variables included demographics (age, race\/ethnicity, sex, sport type, number of years in sport, number of previous concussions, and perceived concussion symptom knowledge), athletic identity, attitudes toward symptom reporting, perceived social pressure (injunctive and descriptive norms), and perceived behavioral control (capacity and autonomy).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Hierarchical ordinary least-squares regression revealed positive effects of attitude (b = 0.063, P = .005), descriptive norms (b = 0.131, P &amp;lt; .001), injunctive norms (b = 0.107, P &amp;lt; .001), and capacity (b = 0.196, P &amp;lt; .001) on intention to report symptoms. Athletic identity and participation in collision sports had small negative indirect effects on intention, and perceived concussion knowledge had a small positive indirect effect. The full regression model explained 14.24% of the variance in concussion-reporting intention.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>These findings may help clinicians develop more focused interventions that address key social and individual determinants of underreporting, including attitude, injunctive and descriptive norms, and capacity to report. Athletic identity, sport type, and perceived understanding of concussion symptoms also influence reporting intention to a lesser extent. Previous research in this area has often failed to address a diverse population of college-age athletes from different sports and National Collegiate Athletic Association divisions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-0065.24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,5]],"date-time":"2024-06-05T07:41:28Z","timestamp":1717573288000},"page":"1056-1062","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Predictors of Concussion Symptom-Reporting Intention Among Collegiate Athletes"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Baer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"* Department of Sports Medicine, Sturzebecker Health Sciences Center, West Chester University, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John A.","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u2020 Department of School Psychology, Special Education, and Sociology, Indiana University of Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Vaccaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u2020 Department of School Psychology, Special Education, and Sociology, Indiana University of Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Curtis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"* Department of Sports Medicine, Sturzebecker Health Sciences Center, West Chester University, PA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,25]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"2024112509161885000_i1938-162X-59-11-1056-b01","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1009","DOI":"10.3109\/02699052.2014.904049","article-title":"Disclosure and non-disclosure of concussion and concussion symptoms in athletes: review and application of the socio-ecological framework","volume":"28","author":"Kerr","year":"2014","journal-title":"Brain Inj"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024112509161885000_i1938-162X-59-11-1056-b02","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-092498","article-title":"NCAA concussion education in ice hockey: an ineffective mandate","volume":"48","author":"Kroshus","year":"2014","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"issue":"11","key":"2024112509161885000_i1938-162X-59-11-1056-b03","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"695","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2023-106898","article-title":"Consensus statement on concussion in sport: the 6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport\u2014Amsterdam, October 2022","volume":"57","author":"Patricios","year":"2023","journal-title":"Br J Sports Med"},{"issue":"2","key":"2024112509161885000_i1938-162X-59-11-1056-b04","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-49.1.07","article-title":"National Athletic Trainers\u2019 Association.
