TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Youth sports and public health: framing risks of mild traumatic brain injury in American football and ice hockey JO - Journal of law, medicine and ethics A1 - Bachynski, Kathleen E. A1 - Goldberg, Daniel S. SP - 323 EP - 333 VL - 42 IS - 3 N2 - The framing of the risks of experiencing mild traumatic brain injury in American football and ice hockey has an enormous impact in defining the scope of the problem and the remedies that are prioritized. According to the prevailing risk frame, an acceptable level of safety can be maintained in these contact sports through the application of technology, rule changes, and laws. An alternative frame acknowledging that these sports carry significant risks would produce very different ethical, political, and social debates.
