*Statistically significant (MDs with 95%CI excluding 0.0, PRs with 95%CI excluding 1.0).† Results utilized a one-point increase in BSSS score (20.0% increase on the five-point scale).‡Adjusted for all factors in the linear regression or binomial regression models.§ Disclosing all concussions at the time of injury was only computed for student-athletes with a reported concussion history. Abbreviations. n = Number of student-athletes used in each model output, MD = Mean difference; CI = Confidence interval; PR = Prevalence ratio.
