A purposeful sample of athletic trainers employed in secondary schools was requested to complete an online survey (1,124 of 3,943 [28.5% response rate]). Most athletic trainers (968 of 1,112 [87.1%]) reported having a written concussion management policy, which included background information (883 of 968 [91.2%]), immediate treatment (902 of 968 [93.2%]), and return to play criteria (933 of 968 [96.4%]). Strongest predictive variables of an existing concussion policy included athletic trainers who were: primarily paid via school/ district (odds ratio [OR] = 2.1,95% confidence interval [Cl] = 1.4 to 3.3), hired full-time (OR = 1.7,95% Cl = 1.1 to 2.7), and evaluation of more concussions annually (OR = 1.6,95% Cl = 1.3 to 2.0). Employment characteristics may influence the existence of a concussion management policy; however, additional research is needed to understand athletic trainers' ability to navigate school systems and implement a school-based concussion policy.
