Brief summary
The aim of the study is to investigate the frequency, type and consequences of injuries for females who present to an emergency department of urgent care centre in Geelong or South West Victoria. Study one will collect information regarding the types of injuries sustained by females and compare this information to males. Information will be extracted from participants' medical records. Study two will collect information regarding the consequences of injuries sustained by females. Information will include healthcare treatments, time off work or school and time away from playing football. Information will be collected via questionnaires sent to participants 6-10 weeks following injury.

The condition of interest is an Australian Rules Football (ARF) related injury and participants will be invited to participate upon presentation at an Emergency Department (ED) department or Urgent Care Centre (UCC) in either Geelong or in the South Western region of Victoria. In the first stage (Study One) both males and females will be asked to participate as males are required to enable comparison between males and female injury types. Data for Study One will be extracted from participants' medical records and will indicate the number and type of injuries sustained. Six-to-ten weeks following an ARF-related injury and ED or UCC presentation, each female patient (or person caring for a female child) will be contacted by letter or SMS and asked to describe the impact of the injury via a questionnaire (Study Two). Patients will access the questionnaire using a link to the web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire will take approximately 5 minutes to complete.
