In particular, there is a need for a greater understanding of what context-specific stakeholders require for prevention. Therefore, this study surveyed stakeholders\u2019 current practices, needs, responsibilities and knowledge dissemination preferences related to injury and illness prevention in competitive snow sports and described the main commonalities and differences between stakeholder groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional study that used an online survey developed using Kipling\u2019s principle (the \u201c5W1H\u201d method) and targeted athletes, coaches, team staff, ski racing suppliers, and representatives from all competition levels and all competitive snow sports governed by the International Ski and Snowboard Federation. The data were analysed following both quantitative and qualitative descriptive analyses.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Most of the 436 respondents believed in and reported needing more information on injury and illness prevention. The participants stated that the main goal of prevention was to avoid injuries and minimise their time away from being on snow, and they stressed their different underlying motivations. Despite the differences across subgroups, participants highlighted knee and head injuries and concussions as their primary injury prevention targets and priorities for additional information. Respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses were reported as their main targets of illness prevention, but more information on all illnesses was reported. Current practices and priorities for additional information fell under athlete-, equipment-, snow\/environment-, and course-related prevention areas. Moreover, stakeholders highlighted their need for more information on mental health and training. Shared responsibilities were identified across the development, dissemination, and implementation of prevention, along with stakeholders\u2019 preferred communication channels.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our study provides meaningful insights across athlete, equipment-, snow\/environment-, and course-related prevention areas related to snow sports, roles, and competition levels. These insights may inform the development, dissemination and further implementation of any tailored and context-driven preventive measure by better addressing end-users\u2019 needs. These findings may support successful future preventive interventions by providing key elements and a clear path to improve athletes\u2019 health and safety.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40798-025-00818-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,19]],"date-time":"2025-02-19T22:38:22Z","timestamp":1740004702000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A Survey on Current Practices, Needs, Responsibilities and Preferences for Knowledge Dissemination in the Field of Injury and Illness Prevention Among Competitive Snow Sports Stakeholders"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4865-5922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oriol","family":"Bonell Monson\u00eds","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0353-1021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00f6rg","family":"Sp\u00f6rri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0126-4177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Gouttebarge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7607-4765","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline","family":"Bolling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9227-8234","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Evert","family":"Verhagen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"818_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/SMS.14533","author":"O Bonell Monson\u00eds","year":"2023","unstructured":"Bonell Monson\u00eds O, Sp\u00f6rri J, Warsen M, Bolling C, Gouttebarge V, Verhagen E.
