Translational Sports Medicine Handbook for Designing and Conducting Clinical and Translational Research: Chapter 103 - Population- and environmental-specific considerations

Given the paradigm shift toward identifying and studying the complex relationships between individual social determinants and how that influences the health of the athlete as well as those of the general public, this chapter focuses on the population and environmental considerations that impact how patients receive care, identify health concerns, and empower them to take initiative in their own care with the health teams surrounding their care.
