    Contains 5 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Recent studies have identified food insecurity (FI) among student athletes, increasing the risk of performance deficit, impaired injury recovery, poor academic performance, and mental health challenges. As a trusted professional the AT can help screen for FI, make referrals, and help student athletes identify resources. This presentation will review recent research on food insecurity in high school and college athletes, will introduce an evidence-based screening tool, for identifying FI, and suggest resources for student athletes experiencing FI. The ongoing impact of the COVID 19 pandemic will be also addressed. Encore Presentation from NATA 2022 Convention.
