Longitudinal Study of Children With Concussions

For children and adolescents who have had a concussion resulting in prolonged symptoms (>3 months), the investigators will:

1. Measure post-concussion symptoms, cognitive and emotional function during the 3 years post-injury. 2. Determine length of recovery and frequency of return to prior level of sports participation. 3. Determine the incidence of and risk factors for subsequent concussion during the 3 years post-injury.
