Ohio State LiFE Sports Research - Research Dissemination

Research Dissemination:
The LiFE Sports Initiative continually strives to provide avenues to disseminate best practices in the field of youth development. In an effort to disseminate this information to those in the field, the LiFE Sports Initiative staff currently prioritizes the writing of articles for both community and primary literature. In addition, a quarterly newsletter is also distributed to social work, education, and physical activity students, local community partners and agencies, parents, as well as key professional organizations. Past publications and newsletters are available for download below.
