Among the 91 endorsing no same-day return, 9 would allow immediate continuation, 7 selected sport-dependent participation, and 2 were unsure. Medical clearance was supported by 88% on an agreement item, whereas 77% selected clearance after every concussion on a separate question.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Responses varied across differently worded safety questions; they do not establish actual behavior or national prevalence.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Practical Applications<\/jats:title>\n Education could distinguish immediate removal from later graduated return and explicitly address injuries described as mild.
