Perceived barriers and facilitators to implementation of injury prevention programs in the military: Feedback from inside the trenches
Factors leading to incidence and recovery of musculoskeletal injuries are multifactorial, requiring collaborative multidisciplinary approaches for optimal injury prevention program development and implementation. Leadership support/prioritization, unit-level cultural acceptance and sufficient resources are essential facilitators to implementing prevention programs. Developing standardized, relevant metrics for assessing program effectiveness and establishing organizational best practices are necessary for long term program viability and lasting change.
