Athletic Trainers’ Observations of Social Determinants of Health in the Secondary School Setting: A Card Study

Our results indicated ATs in the secondary school setting were observing and acting to mitigate the negative influence of SDH. However, these ATs should be prepared to provide resources for patients negatively influenced by academic stressors, social media, and lack of health literacy. Resources, referrals, and additional education for patients may support a healthier community and positively influence athlete health and well-being.
