All respondents (100%, N = 78\/78) stated they had an AED on campus. All respondents (N = 77\/77) indicated that they were familiar with the Iowa High School Athletic Association's (IHSAA's) concussion policy and had a concussion guideline in place. Many respondents (95.9%, n = 71\/74) described being familiar with the IHSAA's heat illness policy, but more than half (62.1%, n = 41\/66) noted they did not have a heat illness policy in place at their school.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Most respondents indicated their school had access to ATs, followed the state-mandated concussion guidelines, and had an AED.
