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.
Whether such an idea would
find a majority of votes in the Assembly — the measure passed in the Senate, with almost
unanimous Republican
support and some Democratic opposition — is unclear.
