In brief: A sports medicine survey of 119 public high schools in Alabama showed that the smaller schools are farther from medical facilities and have less space and equipment for injury management than larger schools. Primary care or family physicians are used most often as team physicians, but the availability of physicians at practice and at sports events other than football is limited. Many schools have no team physician, most lack athletic trainers, and about half of the coaches do not feel prepared to handle a medical emergency. Many of the schools rated the delivery and quality of medical care to their athletes as fair to very poor.
阿拉巴马州对 119 所公立高中进行的运动医学调查显示，规模较小的学校离医疗设施更远，用于伤病管理的空间和设备也比规模较大的学校少。初级保健医生或家庭医生最常被用作队医，但在非足球比赛时，医生在训练和比赛中的可用性有限。许多学校没有队医，大多数缺乏运动训练师，大约一半的教练觉得自己没有准备好处理医疗紧急情况。许多学校对运动员的医疗服务的提供和质量评价为一般或很差。
