What this trial studies

This study aims to address the public health concern of head impacts in youth football by implementing a safety program called COACH. The program focuses on educating youth coaches about safe practice planning and changing attitudes towards head impacts. By partnering with community stakeholders, the study evaluates the adoption and effectiveness of COACH in reducing head impacts and concussions among young athletes. The research will also monitor the implementation process to identify factors that influence its success.
