public attitudes and knowledge about Youth sports Participation and concussion risk in an urban area
Journal of The National Medical Association, 2018Co-Authors: Eleanor Taranto, Michael Fishman, Katherine Garvey, Meryl Perlman, Holly J Benjamin, Lainie Friedman RossAbstract:Abstract Background Every year, millions of children in the United States participate in Youth full-contact sports, which carry concussion risks—the long-term sequelae of which are not well understood. We examined the attitudes and knowledge of adults in Chicago about Youth sports Participation, concussion risk, and whether physicians should counsel against Youth Participation in full-contact sports. Methods An anonymous paper survey featuring 13 attitudinal, 13 demographic, and 9 knowledge questions was distributed to a convenience sample of adults ≥18 years in hospital waiting areas and four Chicago parks. Participants were asked to hypothetically consider themselves the parent of a 10-year-old child regarding attitudes towards full-contact sports Participation. Results Between June 13 and July 27, 2016, 1091 partial or complete valid surveys were collected. Almost half (46%) of respondents would not allow a hypothetical 10-year-old son to play tackle football. The majority (74%) of respondents agreed that it was appropriate for physicians to counsel against Youth Participation in full-contact sports. Respondents obtained information about concussions from, on average, 2–3 sources, although only 34% received information from physicians. Respondents demonstrated a high concussion knowledge level (average: 6.75 of 9 questions). However, only 39% of respondents correctly answered that the following statement was false: “After a mild concussion, there are usually visible changes on medical imaging”. Conclusions Overall, respondents are well-informed about concussions. They are divided about the Participation of Youth in full-contact sports and are amenable to physician counseling against Youth Participation in full-contact sports.

attitudes and counseling practices of pediatricians regarding Youth sports Participation and concussion risks
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2017Co-Authors: Michael Fishman, Eleanor Taranto, Meryl Perlman, Holly J Benjamin, Lainie Friedman Ross, Kyran P QuinlanAbstract:Objective To examine attitudes and practices of pediatricians toward sports-related head trauma and Youth Participation in tackle football and ice hockey. Study design A respondent-anonymous electronic survey was distributed 3 times to members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section of Bioethics, Council on Injury, Violence, and Poison Prevention, and Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness. Results Of 791 eligible pediatricians, 227 (29%) responded. Most respondents (189/223; 85%) treat sports-related concussions, among whom 83% (137/165) reported access to an established return-to-play protocol within their practice. Virtually all (160/166; 96%) reported increased parental awareness/concern regarding concussions and 85% (139/163) reported increased visits for head trauma. Overall, 77% (140/183) would not allow their son to play tackle football and 35% (64/181) and 34% (63/184) would not allow their son or daughter, respectively, to participate in ice hockey. Most respondents endorsed limiting or eliminating tackling (143/176; 81%) and checking (144/179; 80%) from practice. Respondents were evenly divided in their support for counseling against Youth Participation in full-contact sports, with 48% in favor (87/180). Conclusions Most respondents would not allow their own child to play tackle football and endorsed limiting or eliminating tackling in practice. The American Academy of Pediatrics should consider recommending restrictions on tackling in football to support the current concussion concerns of its members.

The usage of social networks by university students (A survey of Facebook use patterns among young people)
Artificial Intelligence, 2015Co-Authors: Diana Ocilia Pereira Santos, Martin C.Abstract:Online social networks (Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Twitter, …) have become truly significant new phenomena in human communication and interaction patterns and may have a profound impact in the way people communicate and connect with each other. Millions of contemporary young adults use social networking sites. Teenagers are among the most prolific users of social network sites (SNS). Emerging studies find that Youth spend a considerable amount of time in their daily life interacting through social media. Subsequently, questions and controversies emerge about the effects SNS have on adolescent development. However, little is known about how much, why, and how they use these sites. In this study, 561 university students from different nationalities completed a survey that helps clarify these questions that surround Youth Participation in these online communities. Our findings suggest that social networks are the modus operandi of the new generation and that Facebook is mostly used to keep up to date. In addition, a strong connection was found between Facebook use and the addiction to maintaining social capital.

social movements and marginalized rural Youth in brazil egypt and nepal
The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2002Co-Authors: K B GhimireAbstract:This article seeks to highlight the evolving trends in the roles of Youth in rural social movements, noting that such movements are critical if authorities and more dominant classes in society are to listen to powerless and propertyless rural population groups. It has been argued that the phenomenon of Youth Participation in rural social movements has passed largely unnoticed by development theory in general and social movements theory in particular. This lacuna is deleterious, not least because the main victims of globalization are the young of impoverished rural families, for whom the choice to remain in agriculture, either as petty commodity producers or as landless labourers, is in terms of economic livelihood becoming increasingly fraught. Indeed, uprooted in large numbers, rural Youth may provoke a significant disintegration of the peasantry while adding to the multiplication of social problems in urban areas. Fortunately, the increasing socio-economic marginality of young people in rural areas mani...

new voice less equal the civic and political engagement of young people in the united states and europe
Comparative Political Studies, 2014Co-Authors: James SloamAbstract:Declining Youth Participation in conventional forms of politics has become a central theme for academics and policy makers and has often been viewed as marking a crisis in citizenship. Yet there is overwhelming evidence to show that young people are not apathetic. They have their own views and engage in “politics” (more broadly understood) in a wide variety of ways that have relevance to their everyday lives. The following article compares and contrasts the civic and political engagement of young people both within and among the United States, Britain, and Germany. The core arguments are that the forms of engagement practiced by young people are heavily structured in favor of highly educated and well-off citizens and that young people as a group have increasingly been marginalized from electoral politics. However, the different experiences across the three countries give scholars a clearer idea of how these problems might be overcome.

rebooting democracy Youth Participation in politics in the uk
Parliamentary Affairs, 2007Co-Authors: James SloamAbstract:Young people in the UK are increasingly disinterested in ‘conventional politics’. This has been illustrated by the alarmingly low turnout of 18-24 year olds in the 2001 and 2005 general elections as well as in the shrinking and ageing memberships of political parties. Yet, young people remain interested in politics (broadly defined) and are active in alternative modes of political Participation. The problem is not, therefore, political apathy, but alienation from the political system. This article looks at existing literature on Youth Participation, and presents new research, which-from the perspective of young people themselves-offers diagnoses of the current situation and potential solutions to increase Participation in the political process.
