Study: Do parents support tackle football age limits?
More than 60 percent of 1,025 parents surveyed in the United States reported they would support age restrictions for tackling in youth football, similar to limits in soccer and hockey. An analysis of the survey results are published in the May 2019 Pediatrics, a journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The study was led by HIPRC core faculty member Sara Chrisman, M.D., MPH. Other affiliated co-authors include associate faculty member Emily Kroshus, Sc.D., MPH, associate faculty member Stan Herring, M.D., and core faculty member Fred Rivara, M.D., MPH.
Twenty-one undergraduate and graduate interns from 18 schools in eight states, Puerto Rico, and Canada will join HIPRC this summer for the INSIGHT Injury Research Training Program. During this paid internship, students will work closely with faculty mentors and HIPRC staff on independent research projects focused on many aspects of injury prevention and control.
Do you have an interesting project that would benefit from a student researcher? HIPRC is seeking faculty and fellow mentors to facilitate research projects and/or clinical shadowing experiences for the program.
The eight-week program runs June 17 – August 9, 2019, and interns provide a guaranteed 35 hours a week dedicated to research. Desk and computer space is provided at HIPRC, and projects requiring IRB approval have it prior to the start of the program in June.
