Show Notes

- Even though 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, survival rates have been improving over the last three decades. However, black women are still 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women in the U.S.
- Assessing Differences in Concussion Symptom Knowledge and Sources of Information Among Black and White Collegiate-Athletes
