Abstract
This study examined collegiate student-athletes' knowledge of injury, injury prevention, and barriers to seeking out an athletic trainer based upon basic demographic information (sex, sport, ever injured, ever visited an athletic trainer). A total of 100 collegiate student-athletes completed a valid and reliable survey. Results indicated the knowledge of injury prevention based on ever visited an athletic trainer to be statistically significant. Top barriers to seeking out an athletic trainer included the ability to self- treat, injury not serious enough to seek out athletic trainer, and not wanting coach to know injured. Information from this study may assist athletic trainers and other professionals working with collegiate student-athletes.
