Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants: 80 college-aged recreational athletes.
Procedures: The study is a single-blind (participants) randomized control trial where participants will complete a previously validated survey assessing concussion knowledge, perceived norms, attitudes, and behavioral intentions immediately pre- and post-receipt of their designated intervention. Participants will also complete the previously validated survey two-week post receipt of their designated intervention. The interventions include an interactive concussion education platform along with the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) concussion education sheet and the NCAA concussion education sheet alone (with a sham educational intervention similar in length to the concussion education platform).

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will then complete the written, informed consent process. The consent form indicated that they would be completing a sport-related educational intervention to not disclose the information they would receive and to keep participants blind to their intervention group assignment. Participants will not be explicitly told that it is a study evaluating concussion education, but rather an injury and nutrition study, to reduce bias. Once the consent form was signed, participants were assigned a unique identifier and randomized (simple) without replacement to one of the two study arms, using a pre-determined random number generator in Excel. Participants then completed the pre- questionnaire in a quiet location via a tablet/computer provided by the research team or virtually. There was no time limit for completion of the questionnaire. The survey will feature an item that prompts individuals if they miss a question, but does not force participants to respond. After initial questionnaire completion, participants completed their assigned intervention (decision-based interactive concussion education platform + NCAA concussion education sheet versus NCAA education sheet). Immediately following their respective intervention, athletes completed the questionnaire again. Upon completing the post-intervention questionnaire, the participant's participation in the study is complete and they will receive an incentive. Following each survey, a research team member will verify and assess for missing answers, allowing participants to complete any missed questions that they wish to answer. Two weeks following the post-intervention survey, participants will be contacted again to complete the same questionnaire to assess retention of concussion knowledge, perceived norms, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. At this two-week post time point, participants will be informed of the true purpose of the study and be provided access to the BANK (Behaviors, Attitudes, Norms, and Knowledge) platform.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Education Sheet and Sham Intervention
Participants will be asked to fill out a pre-intervention survey to assess existing concussion knowledge, perceived norms, attitudes, and behavioral intentions. Afterward, the NCAA concussion education fact sheet will be viewed along with the viewing of the sham intervention. Following the intervention, a post-intervention survey re-assessing the constructs from the pre-intervention survey will be completed. May be completed in-person or virtually.
NCAA education sheet
A fact sheet that includes information about basic signs and symptoms of a concussion as well as steps to take if an individual sustains a concussion and reinforces the need to report the injury.
Decision-based interactive concussive education platform
A platform grounded in theoretical frameworks including the socioecological model and theory of planned behavior. It includes a short video to provide an overview of key lessons, a short quiz, and additional resource links that conclude the module.
