The purpose of this study was to determine if an educational intervention for female collegiate athletes can improve knowledge of the female athlete triad. The participants of the study were 49 female collegiate athletes from Kent State University, an NCAA affiliated university. A Triad Knowledge Questionnaire (TKQ) was distributed to four teams during the first week of this study and again during the following week. After the first administration of the TKQ, one team received an educational presentation, one team an educational handout, one team received both the presentation and handout, and the final team served as the control with no educational intervention given. The TKQ was administered again the following week to determine if there was a difference in female athlete triad knowledge among the different intervention groups. The results of the study indicated there was a significant difference (p < .001) between groups on TKQ posttest performance. Furthermore, a repeated measures ANOVA indicated a significant improvement (p < .001) between pretest and posttest scores for the intervention groups. Overall, the findings of this study revealed that an educational intervention for female collegiate athletes improved knowledge of the female athlete triad.
