Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Knowledge Translation InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The group participating in the KT intervention program will participate in focus groups, individual meetings, and receive videos, informational handouts and on-field training from the researchers. The researchers and participants will work together to determine barriers and facilitators towards implementation of an ACL-IPP, and create an ACL-IPP that follows established clinical practice guidelines and is individualized to the local contextual needs.

Group II: Educational HandoutActive Control1 Intervention

The coaches will receive an educational handout describing an ACL-IPP.
