[En anglais seulement] His talk will explore whether concussions in sport are a public health problem or merely an NFL/NHL problem. Chung will outline how media narratives have inaccurately portrayed conflicting research regarding the prevalence of sports-related neurodegenerative conditions, such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), among the general population and how this is impacting law-making, policy and legal decisions across North America.
