Abstract: 

Approximately one-fourth of female college student-athletes and one-fifth of male college student-athletes report at least subclinical eating disorder symptoms (1, 2). Although most athletic trainers will encounter signs of problematic eating or energy intake [3], only 25% of athletic trainers felt confident in eating disorder identification [4]. Moreover, a recent survey of head athletic trainers found only 32.89% heard of RED-S [5], which is a vital component of eating disorder identification. Athletic trainers would benefit from learning about factors increasing risk for mental health difficulties in collegiate athletes, so they can effectively address these concerns in this population.
