The U.S. Center for SafeSport this week launched the 2024 Athlete Culture and Climate Survey. The survey is intended to solicit input from adult athletes across all levels of sport related to any experiences of abuse or misconduct while participating in sport in the United States.

Survey submissions are anonymous, and the results will be compiled by Pacific Research and Evaluation, an independent research firm, and disseminated publicly prior to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris this summer.

The survey will be open until Feb. 9, and is available in both English and Spanish.

“From the practice field to the podium, SafeSport wants to understand the experiences of athletes at every level,” U.S. Center for SafeSport CEO, Ju’Riese Colon said in a press release. “This information is critical to our efforts to change sport culture, and we will use it to guide our processes and prevention strategies.”

The goals of the survey include:

  • Understanding and assessing adult athlete experiences throughout all levels of sport
  • Providing data-driven insights to inform SafeSport’s prevention education work and processes
  • Informing the wider sports community about the needs and experiences of athletes

This is the second survey of its kind conducted by SafeSport; the first was administered in 2020 and received nearly 4,000 responses from athletes nationwide. For the 2024 edition, SafeSport has ramped up its distribution efforts and has extended the survey to athletes outside of the Olympic and Paralympic movement to reach a diverse range of participants.

After the survey closes, 200 participants will be randomly drawn to receive $20 Amazon gift cards, or one of four $100 Amazon gift cards.
