Creating Change In Intercollegiate Athletics: The Sexual Assault Prevention Paradigm For Athletic Departments, Kristy Mccray, Sue Sutherland, Donna L. Pastore

Health and Sport Sciences Faculty Scholarship

In 2011, the Office for Civil Rights issued a “Dear Colleague Letter” instructing universities to take action regarding sexual assault on college campuses.

A Systematic Review Of Sport For Development Interventions Across Six Global Cities, Megan Chawansky Dr.

Health and Sport Sciences Faculty Scholarship

Recently published reviews have begun the process of synthesizing the knowledge within the growing Sport for Development (SfD) field, but there is a need to critically evaluate the research on which these findings are based. This systematic review is a critical appraisal of both quantitative and qualitative evidence in academic and grey literature in the SfD field. The strength and quality of the research is assessed to provide a more nuanced understanding of the reported evidence of SfD interventions in six global cities (CapeTown, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, Nairobi, and New Orleans). The results include several key findings: (a) there …

A MBTI assessment tool was used to identify personality types among the participants, and a demographics survey comprised of nine questions was used to determine participant’s experience in the Athletic Training profession.
