A 2014 study (1), however, found that, despite the 2010
endorsement of 6 national medical societies of a single PPE form as part of an effort to standardize the screening process, and nearly unanimous public support for PPE screening
by a qualified health care
professional before participation in a consistent manner across the country, the medical community is still largely unaware of national sports preparticipation physical evaluation guidelines and only 11 % of
athletes at US high schools are guaranteed to receive a PPE fully consistent with the national standard.
