From unequal injuries to unequal learning? Socioeconomic gradients in childhood concussions and the impact on children’s academic performance
Highlights
• Child concussion rates are higher among families with lower earnings and education.
• Concussion incidence and reading test scores are negatively correlated.
• Difference-in-differences model controls for selection and identifies a causal effect.
• The negative correlation is driven by selection and does not reflect a causal effect.
• Social gradients in concussions do not lead to inequality in academic performance.
