Surveys were distributed through athletic directors at all eligible schools. Survey items assessed coaching characteristics, AT access, awareness of ACL injury risk and prevention programs, and use of general and ACL-specific IPPs. School-level SES and school type were obtained from public education reports. Descriptive statistics summarized responses, and Spearman correlations evaluated associations between SES and prevention-related outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 28 of 131 schools (21%) responded, yielding 57 coach responses. Among the 57 responding coaches, 68.4% reported AT access, 77.2% recognized increased ACL injury risk in female athletes, and 73.7% were aware of ACL prevention programs. General injury prevention programs were used by 70.2% of coaches, whereas 47.4% reported an ACL-specific IPP. Lower SES was significantly associated with reduced awareness of ACL prevention programs (\u03c1 = \u22120.26;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .0036).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study showed that, despite widespread awareness of the increased risk of ACL injury in female athletes, fewer than half of responding coaches reported implementing ACL-specific prevention programs.
