MSK Scientific Session-Session Presentation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presenter discussed a study that aimed to understand the prevalence, correlates, and consequences of interpersonal violence (IV) in NCAA athletes. The study found that 9.8% of athletes surveyed experienced IV, with female, non-heterosexual, and disabled athletes being more prone to it. The study also found that athletes who experienced IV were less satisfied with their performance, felt less connected to their team, and had a higher risk of burnout and a willingness to quit. However, willingness to seek help was not affected. The presenter highlighted the need for preventative measures, including bystander training, increased mental health resources, and stricter regulations on perpetrators. The study called for the NCAA to implement a surveillance system to identify and address IV in collegiate athletics. Overall, the study provided a foundation for future research on IV in NCAA athletes and emphasized the importance of addressing this issue to protect the well-being of athletes.
