Overview
This website helps health care professionals manage children and adolescents with concussion or prolonged postconcussion symptoms. As a living guideline, maintained by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Province of Ontario, and partner Ontario hospital foundations and institutes, the information is continually updated.
The website contains recommendations as well as resources, including algorithms and educational tools. There is also a patient version of this guideline designed to provide information to adults with the goal of improving communication between provider and patient and family.
