Driving After Concussion in Adolescents

Although we know a lot about returning to sports, exercise, and school after concussion, we know very little about returning to drive after a concussion. Our Driving after Concussion study needs the help of both healthy and recently concussed teen partners in our research to understand how concussion affects driving behaviors in teens.We are looking for healthy (have not had a concussion in the last year) and recently concussed teens who are 16.5-18 years old with a drivers license and their own smartphone.Our teen research partners may be asked to complete surveys about themselves and download smartphone applications that track symptoms associated with concussion and/or observe real-world driving behaviors. They may also be asked to come to CHOP's Driving Simulator Lab to complete a 3-hour session that includes surveys, clinical testing, and device testing along with a simulated driving assessment to observe driving behavior.All teens who participate will be compensated for their time and effort.

Shifting Perspectives

Researchers at CHOP are trying to improve outcomes in the treatment of adolescents with anorexia nervosa. Eligible families will receive Family Based Treatment for anorexia nervosa. Some adolescents with anorexia nervosa will also receive Cognitive Remediation Therapy (a treatment that increases flexible thinking). Both parents are required to participate and any siblings living at home are asked to come to the first four treatment sessions. Families will receive treatment for approximately 6 months and will be asked to complete number of assessments during treatment and at two time points after treatment ends.
