In this podcast, Brooke Patterson hosts Dr Erik Denison (PhD, Research Fellow Monash University) and Neil Hay (Rugby Victoria President) about a trial published in the BJSM which tested the effectiveness of an education program delivered by professional rugby players designed to stop homophobic language. They discuss openly and honestly the challenges in changing behaviour in community sport. It is not too often we get to chat to sports administrators more broadly about what is needed to drive change – whether it be related to health, safety, inclusion, or diversity. Should we be using the carrot or stick? What other strategies might work? What is your role as a clinician in creating a safe environment?
