Article Synopsis
- In 2012, the SMCI of IADMS introduced 6 recommendations aimed at standardizing dance injury surveillance and definitions to enhance data reliability in dance medicine and science.
- The IADMS has updated these recommendations through expert collaboration and literature review to reflect current evidence and improve upon the initial guidelines.
- The updated guidelines stress the importance of utilizing clear injury definitions, recommend self-reporting for certain surveillance aspects, and emphasize the need for relevant measures tailored to specific research questions to enhance injury risk management in dance.
Introduction: There is a dearth of information about whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) dancers, who often experience increased psychosocial risk factors, are at increased risk of engaging in harmful behaviors compared to their heterosexual cisgender counterparts. This study explores harmful behaviors dancers engage in according to their self-reported sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), utilizing the validated Risky, Impulsive, and Self-Destructive Behavior Questionnaire (RISQ).
Methods: Three hundred sixty-four dancers from 7 elite dance entities in New York were contacted by e-mail to participate in the study.
