Hi all
Please see the email below in regards to the ‘Supplements and banned drugs in sport’ survey. Please forward to your coaches of 13-18 year olds to forward on where possible. Thanks.

‘AUT and DFSNZ are capturing the thoughts of 13-18-year-old athletes on supplement use and doping in sport throughout NZ. The findings will be used to make sport better for everyone by developing a programme which prevents doping in sport for the next generation of NZ athletes. The questionnaire is closing soon and it is really important that we hear the thoughts of as many NZ athletes as possible – to make sure yours are included, follow this link to complete a short questionnaire on any device: https://aut.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_esvT8IkbXMUUmq1’.

If more suitable, the following QR code will also provide athletes with access to the questionnaire:

All data obtained in this study will make a real contribution to our understanding of what shapes youth intentions to use banned substances in NZ. Hearing the voices of as many athletes as possible will help us develop an intervention programme for the benefit of the next generation of NZ sports people and we appreciate your support in doing so.

If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
