Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Special Olympics Canada (SOC) coaches and caregivers play an important role in the prevention, recognition, and management of concussion in athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID). However, little is known about their preparation, ability, and confidence to do so effectively. This study is the first to examine SOC coach and caregiver concussion education, knowledge, attitudes, and intended practices (KAP). A cross-sectional design utilizing a purposefully developed, non-standardized survey was employed to collect concussion education and KAP data from coaches and caregivers registered for the 2021/22 SOC sport season. Results demonstrated that prior concussion education was rare and that important gaps in knowledge and confidence exist among these groups. This research provides direction for targeted educational interventions for SOC coaches and caregivers to help create a safer more concussion-aware sporting environment for athletes with ID.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
