There are four types of harassment and abuse: psychological, physical, sexual and neglect. Harassment and abuse can affect athletes of all ages and in all sports, with varying prevalence depending on the type, location, sport, age and cultural setting. #WhatWouldYouDo?1 is the first study to assess sports medicine physicians`: 1. Perceptions of harm in presented scenarios of harassment and abuse. 2. Witnessing of presented behaviours of harassment and abuse in the past 12 months. 3. Beliefs, attitudes and confidence in recognising and reporting suspicions and allegations of harassment and abuse, as well as their knowledge of reporting mechanisms and barriers to reporting. 4. Level of training and desire for more education in safeguarding.
