The
goals of
the NATA
Research
and
Education
Foundation
include
advancing
the
knowledge
base of
the
athletic
training
profession
and
encouraging
research
among
athletic
trainers
who can
contribute
to the
athletic
training
knowledge
base.
By
identifying
research
priorities,
the NATA
Research
and
Education
Foundation
hopes to
promote
research
topics
that
achieve
these
goals
and
provide
evidence
for the
effectiveness
of
services
provided
by
Certified
Athletic
Trainers.
The
Priorities
listed
below
are
those
that
will
have the
highest
potential
impact
on the
profession
of
Athletic
Training.
By
defining
research
needs in
a
diverse
field,
the NATA
Research
and
Education
Foundation
expects
to
maximize
efficient
and
effective
use of
its
financial
resources.
The
following
research
priorities
are
listed
according
to their
potential
to meet
the
previously
stated
goals:
-
The
effectiveness
and
cost-effectiveness
of
care
provided
by
Athletic
Trainers.
-
Studies
documenting
the
outcomes
of
techniques
used
by
Athletic
Trainers
focusing
on
patient-oriented
and
quality-of-life
outcomes
measures.
-
Prospective,
longitudinal
studies
of
the
epidemiology
of
conditions
typically
managed
by
Athletic
Trainers
which
will
help
establish
a
firm
scientific
foundation
for
care
provided
by
Athletic
Trainers.
-
Studies
examining
the
outcomes
of
various
procedures
and
approaches
used
in
the
education
of
Athletic
Trainers.
-
Studies
that
elucidate
mechanisms
that
have
a
direct
applicability
to
Athletic

that
could
serve
as a
foundation
for
clinical
practice.
