Article Synopsis
- Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in student athletes are often caused by community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA), highlighting a significant health risk.
- A survey of high school coaches and athletic directors in Missouri showed that 61% received MRSA education, and 32% had written guidelines for managing SSTIs, with those with guidelines reporting lower SSTI incidence.
- Referrals to school nurses or physicians for SSTIs were made by 49% of respondents, suggesting that combining educational efforts from school nurses and athletic staff could effectively reduce SSTI occurrences among student athletes.
