RD’s needed for Female Athlete Health survey
Concordia University is looking for volunteers to participate in this survey titled, “Knowledge of Low Energy Availability Conditions Among Sports and Non-sports Registered Dietitians: Supporting Awareness of Female Athlete Triad and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport.”
The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of a specialty in sports dietetics on Female Athlete Triad (Triad) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) knowledge. The primary goal of this study is to investigate Triad and RED-S knowledge competence of sport specialist registered dietitians (RD) compared to non-sports specialists RDs. Volunteers must currently be or have once been an RD.
All surveys will be completely anonymous with no personal information collected.
The study has received IRB approval from Concordia University, St. Paul (IRB# 2026_067). The survey is a modified version of a previously validated 18-item questionnaire to assess theoretical and practical understanding of Triad and RED-S and will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
If you would like to participate, please review the Informed Consent on the initial page of the linked survey found here: Knowledge of Triad and RED-S Questionnaire.
