Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Public Health Policy
  • Adolescent Health

Background:

  • State High School Athletic Associations (SHSAAs) develop athlete health and safety policies, but processes vary by state.
  • The National Federation of State High School Associations offers recommendations, but state-level governance dictates policy creation.
  • Understanding SHSAA policy development is crucial due to interstate governance differences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the processes SHSAAs use to develop new athlete health and safety policies.
  • To identify the methods SHSAAs employ for implementing these new policies.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional survey was administered to 51 SHSAA representatives.
  • The 22-question survey gathered data on policy introduction, revision, approval, and implementation.
  • Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the collected data.

Main Results:

  • Most responding SHSAAs (n=33) utilize a two-committee process for policy development and vetting.
  • Policy initiation often comes from a Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, followed by an executive-level committee.
  • Implementation commonly begins with an email to Athletic Directors, with principals or superintendents overseeing compliance.

Conclusions:

  • A majority of SHSAAs follow a two-step process for athlete health and safety policy creation and review.
  • Extended policy development timelines may hinder the timely implementation of essential health protocols.
  • SHSAAs should explore enhanced communication strategies to ensure effective policy dissemination to all stakeholders.
