    Athletic Trainers as Leaders in Sexual Violence Prevention

    RALIANCE

    Athletic trainers are committed to using the best available evidence and practices to support the total development of the student-athlete.  Research has shown the damaging physical and mental health impacts of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse on youth and young adults. Beyond assessing for violence, reporting disclosures of sexual violence, and connecting survivors for resources – there’s a critical need for coaches, athletic directors, sport medicine professionals, and athletic trainers to take action toward preventing sexual violence before it happens.

    At RALIANCE, we know and believe in the potential of sport to prevent sexual and domestic violence, both in the world of athletics and beyond. In 2019, we partnered with Michigan State University (MSU) to host an invitation-only listening session that brought together athletic trainers from across the B1G (Big Ten) Conference and selected Division II and Division III universities to discuss the role of athletic trainers in preventing sexual violence.

    Our new report, Athletic Trainers as Leaders in Sexual Violence Prevention, draws on the perspectives of this group to outline the unique role of athletic trainers in the sport pipeline, opportunities athletic trainers identified to promote sexual violence prevention, and the supports needed to carry out this vision.

    This report looks at:

    • How the role of athletic trainers is unique in the sport pipeline
    • Why athletic trainers are poised to promote sexual violence prevention
    • What athletic trainers need to be leaders in preventing sexual violence
    • The barriers athletic trainers face to realizing this role and priorities to overcome them
