Science, education, and community working together to prevent and manage concussions




SCIENCE
MCMI is committed to research:
From the beginning, the mission of MCMI was to reduce sports-related concussions by increasing awareness, promoting advocacy, and standardizing the management of activity-related concussions. We understood that we had to be actively involved in the emerging scientific research on concussions. And we understood that we had to align our efforts with research partners and institutional collaborators, wherever they were. Today, we work with Harvard Medical School, Boston Children’s Hospital, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Dusquene University, St. Josephs University and Alberta Children’s Hospital, in Canada. Together, we have published more than a dozen papers from trends found in our ImPACT baseline and post-concussion data sets (suggested to be the largest outside of ImPACT itself). In 2013, we set out to gather a new data set surrounding youth concussion mechanism, pertinent medical history and recovery rates among primary and secondary schools in New England. Our partnership with New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) schools and a small test group of Maine high schools initiated the Head Injury Tracker (H.I.T.) Project. Now, with concussion on the minds of school administrators Maine primary schools are participating in the project.
