JAT Chat | Mitigating Heat Stress in the Occupational Setting w/Dr. Christianne Eason (Audio)
Episode 181
Tuesday, 1 September, 2026

Welcome to JAT Chat, presented by the Journal of Athletic Training, the official journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association. In this episode, co-host Dr. Shelby Baez speaks with Dr. Christianne Eason (Korey Stringer Institute, University of Connecticut) about the recent publication, "National Athletic Trainers’ Association Task Force: The Athletic Trainers’ Role in Implementing Heat Stress Mitigation Strategies in the Occupational Setting". They discuss the National Athletic Trainers' Association task force process, five key recommendation areas (culturally appropriate education, productivity monitoring, prevention, identification/treatment, and return-to-work), and why athletic trainers are well positioned to implement practical heat-mitigation strategies.
