The Female Athlete Triad (Triad) is a disorder comprised of three conditions: low energy availability, menstrual irregularity, and decreased bone mineral density. Triad prevalence is high among high school athletes, though their knowledge of the disorder is low. This study aimed to determine whether viewing a nutrition education video including Registered Dietitians describing Triad etiology, progression, and prevention, as well as testimonies of former college athletes who experienced the Triad would change knowledge of the Triad among female high school athletes. Ninety-three female athletes (15.89 ± 1.2 years) from four North Idaho high schools consented to participate. Following randomization to the intervention or control group, all participants completed a pre-survey with ten Triad knowledge questions highlighting Triad risk factors and consequences. Each question was answered using a Likert scale ("strongly disagree" to "strongly agree"). The intervention group (n = 46) then viewed the nutrition education video, while the control group ( n = 44) played a nutrition game in another room. Immediately after, all participants completed a post-survey containing the same ten Triad knowledge questions. Correct responses received one point; each participant received a score out of ten on each survey. Results of Mann-Whitney U tests revealed that pre-survey Triad knowledge scores between groups were similar, though post-survey scores were significantly higher among the intervention group as compared to the control (mean rank 64.07 vs. 26.09 respectively; U = 158.00; p
