“…Sport concussion is a current, high priority issue affecting millions of individuals worldwide 1 , including motorsport athletes (e.g., Formula-1, rally) 2 . Drivers are frequently subjected to demands that are rare in other sports (e.g., excessive speeds, high G forces, large rotational mechanisms) 2,3 . The risk and incidence of concussion in motorsport have been reported as high, and rising 2,4 .…”

There is clear evidence of concussions in motorsport, but accurate knowledge about this injury is missing. Concussion education and training for all drivers and medical personnel is required. Additional investigations into concussion attitudes are advised to complement and advance simple educational initiatives. Further investigation is also required to determine how to best support motorsport medical personnel, and general practitioners, who hold significant responsibility in guiding drivers from diagnosis to return to racing, and to support the effective implementation of policy.

“…The incidence of concussion in motorsport drivers is rising and high compared to other high-risk sports (24)(25)(26)(27). Reported incidence varies from 6.3% to 35% (26). After adjusting for national sport participation rates, Finch, Clapperton and Mccrory (28) found concussion rates were highest for motorsports (181/100,000 participants), followed by equestrian activities and rugby (130/100,000 and 49/ 100,000 participants, respectively).…”

“…A population that could derive high benefit from a focus on NfC is motorsport (e.g., F1, rally, karting). The incidence of concussion in motorsport drivers is rising and high compared to other high-risk sports (24)(25)(26)(27). Reported incidence varies from 6.3% to 35% (26).…”

A Concussion Education Programme for Motorsport Drivers: A Field-Based Exploratory Pilot Study

Objective: Concussion education strategies that improve knowledge and attitudes long term are needed. This exploratory study piloted an interactive concussion education program, adopting concepts from the learning sciences and attitude change literature, for the underserved and high-risk population of motorsports. Method: Forty UK motorsport drivers (ages 16-20 years) participated. The workshop group received a two-phased workshop-based program. The comparison group received a concussion leaflet. Participants completed an adapted version of the Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and Attitudes Survey (RoCKAS-ST) at pre-, post-and 2-month follow-up. Within-group analysis for the workshop group explored the differential effect of the individual difference variable, Need for Cognition (NfC), and effectiveness was explored through post-workshop questionnaires and interviews. Results: Unlike the comparison group, the workshop group showed a significant improvement in knowledge over time (F(2,58) = 45.49, p < .001, η2 p = .61). Qualitative data indicated workshop-program participants developed safer attitudes toward concussion following programming. Preliminary evidence suggested individuals' responses to concussion education aligned with differences in NfC. Conclusion:This study piloted the first concussion education program for motorsport drivers and explored whether aligning educational provision with the NfC construct may help to improve program effectiveness. Findings are relevant to addressing the public health issue of concussion through educational approaches.
