Guidelines & Special Policies

Sound policy is founded in well-informed, evidence-based research.

Access to this information, and visibility into examples of sound policy across domains, are critical to our vision of ensuring that anyone affected by concussion will be treated appropriately by physicians, coaches, and educators.

Below are examples of sound policy that we recognize as built on well-informed, evidence-based research.

Examples

• American Academy of Neurology
  • Summary of evidence-based guideline update: Evaluation and management of concussion in sports
• American Medical Society for Sports Medicine
  • American Medical Society for Sports Medicine Position Statement: Concussion in Sport
• Centers for Disease Control
  • Report to Congress on The Management of TBI in Children
  • Take Action to Improve the Care of Children with mTBI
• Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport: 5th International Conference in Zurich
