HITSS-ND is a fully online annual assessment, including: questions about sports participation, repetitive head impact exposure and concussion history, and medical history; computerized memory and cognitive tests; and behavior and mood questionnaires. As a participant, the entire HITSS-ND assessment takes approximately 2 hours, in the comfort and privacy of the participant’s home, and can be completed at any time and over several days if desired.

Please Note: Although most questionnaires can be completed on a mobile device, the computerized memory and cognitive tests can only be completed on a laptop or desktop computer.

If you are requested to be a study partner, your participation is not required but is greatly appreciated. The Study Partner experience asks questions pertaining to the participant’s functioning and takes 30 minutes on average.
