N2  - Information is limited about signs and symptoms experienced by individuals who self-report a concussion within surveys. The objective of this study was to assess the number and types of signs/symptoms adults experienced and whether or not medical attention was reported after sustaining a self-reported concussion in the past year. A sample of 3,624 adults responded to the web-based 2019 FallStyles survey. Respondents were asked if they had sustained a concussion in the past 12 months and if so, which (if any) signs/symptoms they experienced following the injury. The frequency and percentages of symptoms were calculated. Approximately 2.9% of respondents reported a concussion in the past year. Approximately two-thirds of respondents who reported sustaining a recent concussion stated that they experienced two or more signs/symptoms; the remaining one-third reported zero or one symptom. The findings suggest self-report concussion questions need additional improvement, particularly those that capture concussion using a single question, to improve the validity of self-reports.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
