Abstract

While pediatric concussion is an area of significant scientific concern, only recently has the field begun to consider health related quality of life issues after concussion. The clinical management of pediatric concussion generally focuses on symptoms and epidemiology. The purpose of the current evaluation was to examine whether a quality of life measure can provide important information not readily measured by a symptom scale. 280 participants with concussion, age 7 to 21 completed two pencil and paper measures, the Post Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) and the newly created Pediatric Life After Concussion Evaluation Scale (PLACES). Data showed that the emotion domain on the PCSS was not significant for time since injury F(2,248) = 6.23, p F(2,253) = 1.96, p =.143). While the PCSS and PLACES had a strong correlation (r = .73, p
