Abstract:

Kevin Guskiewicz is research director of UNC’s new Center for the Study of Retired Athletes. He investigates how repeated concussions are associated with the early onset of diseases and neurological disorders. In his upcoming study, Guskiewicz will send a survey to retired professional players to identify the most pressing health problems of retired players and to help set priorities for research.
