- Introduction Adolescent soccer players frequently suffer traumatic and overuse injuries. Research shows that injuries at a young age are problematic as they may limit continued participation and are a risk factor for future injuries (Junge, Cheung, Edwards, & Dvorak, 2004). Current findings indicate that injuries are caused by a multitude of factors, however, this knowledge is not integrated and does not provide a contextualized picture of how an injury develops. With a contextualized picture there can be a gain in information on social and temporal development of an injury. And detailed understanding of how an injury develops. Aim and theoretical framework The purpose of this poster is to provide an overview of the methodology used in an interdisciplinary research project on the development of overuse injuries among adolescent soccer players. In order to achieve this, the aim is to use Bronfenbrenner’s (2005) bioecological theory to create a contextualized view of factors that can create injuries. Method The project follows case-study inquiry. This inquiry has two main data production items. The first item contains a questionnaire, which all participants complete on a weekly basis for 6 months. The questionnaire is based on Clarsen’s (2013) Oslo Sports Trauma research on health problems (OSTRC) and provides a base and longitudinal overview of health problems. The second item contains five data gathering methods and is conducted as a case portfolio consisting of: a) biomechanical profiling based on a 3D running motion capture; b) isometric strength measurements and clinical flexibility tests; c) a training protocol filled in by the soccer players coach; d) observations during soccer practice; and e) semistructured interviews with the soccer players and their coaches. The sample selection is information-oriented, which means that samples are selected based on their expected content information (Flyvbjerg, 2006). Data is analysed for each employed method, as well as through an integrated portfolio analysis inspired by Bronfenbrenner s (2005) ́ bioecological theory. Results The cases’ injury history, individual biomedical, training, contextual and subjectivity results demonstrate individual factors that resulted in an injury. In relating these to each other, the two cases demonstrate how an injury develops over time, in particular contexts, in relation to particular training methods and coaching strategies, and as a result of individual dispositions and assumptions. Discussion and conclusions The findings of the study allow the collation of injury history, individual biomedical, training, contextual and subjectivity factors in a bioecological model of injury development. This model has the potential to create more effective injury prevention guidelines. The case-study approach provides concrete and contextdependent knowledge (Flyvbjerg, 2006), to develop case-oriented expertise, expanding the knowledge on the interdisciplinary interaction of overuse injury development.

- This interdisciplinary research project will produce evidence-based recommendations on how injuries in Swedish youth football (soccer) can be prevented. Fewer injuries will positively impact athlete health, performance and career longevity and have the potential to promote life-long physical activity and wellbeing. Injury pattern research demonstrates that injuries are a significant problem in (Swedish) youth sport. Football has a higher traumatic and overuse injury rate than many contact/ collision sports (e.g., field hockey, basketball). In research on youth football, the incidence of overuse training injuries was measured as high as 15.4 injuries per 1000 training hours, and the incidence of traumatic and overuse match injuries was 47.5 injuries per 1000 match hours. The injury frequency is alarming and applies to the 54% of children aged 7-14 and the 39% of youths aged 15-19 years who participate in Swedish organised sports. A large body of research identifies injury risk factors and preventative strategies; however, as the recent IOC consensus statement on youth athletic development points out, the existing, mostly bio-medical knowledge does not provide effective evidence-based injury prevention strategies. To address this deficit, interdisciplinary and context-driven knowledge on injury development in youth sport is needed.The proposed project will produce scientific evidence through four consecutive studies: a) Questionnaire to register the types, frequency and management of injuries; b) Laboratory testing of biomechanical, clinical and training-specific parameters to establish individual physical and sport-specific dispositions; c) Observation of sporting contexts to understand sporting cultures, coaching methods and coach-athlete relationships; and d) Interviews with coaches and players to recognize knowledge that shapes coaching and training. The sample of youth players will be recruited from Sweden’s most popular and injury-prone sport: football. Each of the four studies will conduct its own data production and analyses, and a collective analysis will produce integrated evidence. Concrete recommendations for best sporting practice will be developed, which will serve sporting federations, sport education institutions, coaches, sport support staff and players.

- Survey of early alcohol treatment preferences shows higher confidence in face to face meetings. Adult men and women (n=307), working and living in the area of south west Sweden, answered a web based questionnaire where they graded treatment and caregiver preferences while imagining themselves developing an alcohol problem. Alcohol consumption was measured using AUDIT-C. Face-to-face delivered treatment was preferred over telephone or internet based advice. About 53 percent of the men and women considered treatment given by primary health as poor. Only 7,6 percent would prefer help from a health care centre if they were having alcohol problems. Shame and stigma were considered the main obstacles for both seeking and getting help. Despite the availability of effective treatments for early alcohol problems, many avoid seeking help for their problem. This also applies to socially established people. It is important that the health care recognizes and identifies people with less serious problems and offer them treatment.
