The National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study
The National High School Sports-Related Injury Surveillance Study is currently the only nationally representative study of US high school sports-related injuries. Certified athletic trainers from US high schools use an internet-based data collection tool, RIO™ (Reporting Information Online), to prospectively report athletic exposure and injury data for athletes participating in 18 sports (boys’ football, soccer, basketball, wrestling, baseball, ice hockey, lacrosse, swimming and diving, and track and field and girls’ soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, gymnastics, field hockey, lacrosse, swimming and diving, and track and field). By monitoring patterns of injury and identifying sport-specific risk and protective factors, the rate of high school sports-related injuries can be reduced through targeted, evidence-based interventions.
Funding Agencies: Development Board of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, National Federation of State High School Associations, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Foundation, DJO, National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Funding Period: 2008-2012
