Perri Klass, MD, writes for the New York Times (7/8) “The Checkup” column that a “new study suggests that organized sports participation may be helpful for kids who are dealing with childhood trauma.” The study “looked at a national sample of 9,668 people” and “found people who had experienced traumatic events as children had better mental health outcomes as adults if they had participated in team sports during adolescence.” The study was published in JAMA.
