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. 000009787 540__ $$fCC BY 000009787 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009787 650__ $$aAdolescent$$014285 000009787 650__ $$aBrain Concussion$$015791 000009787 650__ $$aHead Protective Devices$$019868 000009787 6531_ $$ahelmets 000009787 6531_ $$atraumatic brain injury 000009787 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009787 692__ $$aDivision of Physician Assistant Education$$041465 000009787 7001_ $$aColwell, Brandon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009787 789__ $$whttps://doi.org/10.6083/sf2685845$$2URL 000009787 8564_ $$94db63765-1be4-4d40-9d78-ff0194848df4$$s216344$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9787/files/Colwell.Brandon.2022_paper.pdf 000009787 905__ $$a/rest/prod/z6/03/qz/14/z603qz14j 000009787 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9787$$pstudent-work 000009787 980__ $$aPhysician Assistant Program collection
