(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - To minimize transmission of COVID-19, in spring 2020, most U.S. states passed policies promoting social distancing through stay-at-home orders prohibiting non-essential travel. Vehicle-miles traveled in the U.S. decreased by 41% in April 2020 compared to 2019. A new study led by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children s Hospital estimated associations between COVID-19-related social-distancing policies, traffic volume, and motor vehicle crash-related outcomes in Ohio.
The study, published today in
JAMA, found the number of individuals involved in a motor vehicle crash, sustaining injury, sustaining severe injuries, and fatalities all substantially declined in the period between Ohio s state of emergency declaration and stay-at-home order (March 9 through March 22, 2020). These outcomes reached the lowest level directly following the stay-at-home order before gradually increasing over the next four months.

(COLUMBUS, Ohio) - Concussion, a form of traumatic brain injury, is a common injury among children and teens. Concussions can have adverse effects on physical, cognitive, emotional and sleep health. Clinical guidelines for managing concussion in children and teens traditionally recommend complete physical and cognitive rest until symptom resolution, followed by a gradual return to activities like school and sports. These guidelines are often disputed and based on expert consensus as opposed to strong evidence. The challenge has been how to quantify the amount of physical and cognitive activity that children and teens should engage in during recovery. A new study by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy, Sports Medicine, and Emergency Medicine at Nationwide Children s Hospital investigated objectively measured, self-paced physical and cognitive activity across the first week post-concussion.

COLUMBUS Youths with mood disorders who use and abuse cannabis (marijuana) have a higher risk for self-harm, death by all causes and death by unintentional overdose and homicide, according to research led by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Study findings are published in
JAMA Pediatrics.
“Marijuana use and addiction is common among youth and young adults with mood disorders, but the association of this behavior with self-harm, suicide, and overall mortality risk is poorly understood in this already vulnerable population,” said lead author Cynthia Fontanella, an associate professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral health at Ohio State. “These findings should be considered as states contemplate legalizing medical and recreational marijuana, both of which are associated with increased cannabis use disorder.”
