You’re invited to participate in SHRed Concussions: Surveillance in High Schools to Reduce Concussions. Read below for more information.
What is SHRed?
SHRed Concussions is a research study funded by the National Football League Scientific Advisory Board. The goal of the study is to find ways to reduce concussions suffered by youth athletes and promote healthier youth sport participation. Our goal is to recruit 6000 high school students across Canada who play sports like football, hockey, ringette, indoor/outdoor soccer, volleyball, rugby, lacrosse, basketball, wrestling, or cheerleading at their school or on a non-school team and follow them for three years. Winnipeg will be one of six cities across Canada participating in this study. In Winnipeg we hope to recruit 600 high school aged students.
Who is eligible?
Any student athlete who plays football, hockey, ringette, indoor/outdoor soccer, volleyball, rugby, lacrosse, basketball, wrestling, or cheerleading (either on a school team or a non-school team) and who is in grade 9, 10, or 11 or is 14-18 years old is eligible. You do not need to have had a concussion in order to be a part of the study.
Is there a cost to participate?
There are no direct costs associated with being involved in the study. If parking costs are incurred for appointments they will be reimbursed.
Next Steps?
SHRed is currently recruiting! Contact Heather Normand - Research Coordinator at mailto:hnormand@chrim.ca or Dr. Kelly Russell at mailto:krussell@chirm.ca to get more information or ask any questions.
