Schramm, C., Petit, K., & Harris, T.S. (2026). Evaluating Concentrated Oxygen Use for Acute Concussion Symptoms & Return to Play in Collegiate Athletes. Concussion and Brain Health Symposium. Cleveland, OH.

Highlights
  1. Concentrated canister oxygen is a cheap and accessibly alternative to prescription hyperbaric oxygen or normobaric hyperoxia treatments.
  2. There were no statistically significant differences in symptom scores or return to play between the group that used concentrated canister oxygen and the group that did not. Days 3 and 5 were nearest to significance in symptom scores, which happens to align with how long athletes with concussions used the canisters.
  3. Due to limitations of this study, further research is needed with a larger sample and a more universal symptom checklist such as the SCAT-6.

Horn, K.E. & Harris, T.S. (2025). Race, Trust in the Athletic Trainer, and Pregnancy Disclosure in College Athletes. Michigan Athletic Trainers' Society Annual Symposium. East Lansing, MI.

Highlights
  1. Time to report a hypothetical pregnancy was correlated with trust in the AT, while likelihood to report was not.
  2. White athletes did not differ from athletes of other races on disclosure outcomes, though the difference trended toward significance (p = .057).
  3. ATs should build trust in their athletes, regardless of race or scholarship status.

Harris, T.S. & Smith, A.L. (2023). Teammate Doping Confrontation Efficacy and Athlete Doping Consideration. North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity. New Orleans, LA.

Highlights
  1. Athletes are less likely to use PEDs if they perceive their teammates as capable of confronting others on this issue, a relationship mediated by their own doping moral disengagement and self-regulatory efficacy.
  2. Teammates are an additional significant other who may play a role in minimizing doping behavior.
  3. Doping confrontation efficacy may be a viable factor to address in anti-doping education interventions.
