N2  - Helmet use during recreational activities such as bicycling, skiing, skateboarding, and other sports have considerable evidence of reducing the likelihood of concussion and severe brain injury. Helmets are affordable, accessible, and most importantly, highly effective. Children at the age of 17 or younger are least likely age group to be wearing a helmet during activities, especially ages 10-14 years old. Educating this population about a helmet?s effectiveness in reducing concussion and severe brain injuries is important to reduce the number of brain injuries and help reach Healthy People 2030?s goal of reducing the number of deaths to 16.9 from 17.1 per 100,000. Teaching children good habits will contribute to a safer and healthier future.
