In the last of this BJSM mini-series on the REDS (relative energy deficiency in sport) consensus statement, Dr Georgia Cahill hosts Monica Torstveit, a sports scientist who specialises in REDs and Dr. Kate Ackerman, sports medicine physician and director of the Female Athlete Program in Boston, USA. They discuss their paper, soon to be published in BJSM, regarding primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies for identifying and treating REDs. Kate provides tips for clinicians involved in athlete care while Monica outlines screening tools to identify at-risk athletes.
