Abstract

This study examines how the testing environment affects neurocognitive baseline performance and symptom reporting among student-athletes taking the Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) baseline assessment. Using data from 1,893 student-athletes, the study compared those who completed the ImPACT test at home (n=405) versus in a clinical setting (n=405). Results indicated that athletes tested at home had significantly slower reaction times but reported fewer symptoms than those tested in-clinic. The findings highlight the importance of considering test environment as a factor influencing concussion baseline assessments, especially in the context of changes prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
