In this episode of the Health Equity Podcast, Tracey O'Neill is joined by PhD researcher Steffi Studt from Bangor University's School of Psychology and Sport Science to discuss concussion knowledge, attitudes, and reporting behaviours among female rugby union players. Steffi shares insights from her research, exploring why some players choose not to report concussion symptoms, the potential long-term consequences of concussion, and the influence of coaches, teammates, and rugby culture on reporting behaviours.
