Alerts - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
Attached are two "Alerts" that were
completed by the State CIF Sports
Medicine Committee yesterday regarding MRSA.
1 - for distribution to students and parents
2 - for distribution to schools, coaches, AD and administrators.
Over the past two weeks I have been working with members of the committee
and have found several good web sites that have posters FOR DOWNLOADING)
so you may want to add these links so your schools can easily find
them. Some
sites are promoting "products" that can be purchased, but I
think the education information provide/contained outweighs the implied
endorsement at this time.
This web site is from the Tacoma-Pierce County (WA) Health Department. I
think it has the largest and most complete listings and downloads and many
IN SPANISH. http://www.tpchd.org/page.php?id=365
Athletic Management - not pushing any specific product - downloadable PDF
posters (sports med committee followed these examples for Alerts)
http://www.athleticmanagement.com/mrsa.html
A company selling - but some educational materials that can be downloaded
under educational resources. Educational material at www.hibigeebies.com/sports
click on education materials
Center for Disease Control - scan down the page to find HS age appropriate
posters. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/ar_mrsa_ca_posters.html
