Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While there has been a greater awareness of the consequences of concussions in recent years, there has also been an actual increase in the number of injuries. This is partly due to better reporting of concussions and increased participation in contact sports. The data does not support that concussions have decreased overall or that there is a gendered difference in concussion rates.
