This program compiles and evaluates policies based on best practices related to preventing sudden death in high school athletes. Utilizing the "Inter-Association Task Force Document Preventing Sudden Death in Secondary School Athletics," the program identifies and consolidates key policies that address the top causes of sudden death in sports. These policies are directly derived from publicly available resources, including state high school associations and legislative websites. The goal is to create a comprehensive set of guidelines that reflect best practices and promote safer athletic environments for high school athletes.
