N Thompson, and B Halpern, and W W Curl, and J R Andrews, and S C Hunter, and J R Boring, and W D McLeod

An epidemiologic survey of the literature on high school football injuries revealed methodologic problems. These numerator-denominator inconsistencies and other confounding factors are discussed. The authors suggest a more reliable system of reporting these parameters to further reduce the risk of high school football injuries.
