Synopsis

A law passed in 2009 in Oregon requires school sports coaches and trainers to follow strict guidelines to make sure athletes with head injuries don’t return to sports too soon. A series of stories from InvestigateWest and Pamplin Media Group, and the public radio show Reveal looked into how those guidelines are followed across the state, and what we’ve learned about concussions since the law was put into effect. Shasta Kearns Moore explains.
