* An intention score was dichotomized with agree/strongly agree grouped as higher intention and somewhat agree to strongly disagree grouped as lower intention (Register-Mihalik et al., 2019; 2020a; 2020b).† A perceived control score was dichotomized with agree/strongly agree grouped as higher control and somewhat agree to strongly disagree grouped as lower control (Register-Mihalik et al., 2019; 2020a; 2020b).‡ Disclosing all concussions at the time of injury was only computed for student-athletes with a reported concussion history.
