Population: CES-D was temporarily removed as approved measure of depression (35 subjects). Other entries were excluded if there was incomplete or missing data.

The CES-D is a 20-item survey assessing affective depressive symptomatology to screen for risk of depression. Scores range from 0-60, with a score of 16 commonly used as a clinically relevant cut-off. Higher scores suggest the presence of more symptomatology.

Population: Drop stick reaction testing was temporarily removed as approved measure of depression (35 subjects). Other entries were excluded if there was incomplete or missing data.

Reaction testing is measured by a drop-stick apparatus that has been validated as a way to quantify the impact of athletic concussion on psychomotor performance. Following two practice trials, participants perform eight trials, and a mean distance value is calculated. Better reaction time is denoted by a lower score. The scores range from 0 to 100.
