Context  In 2009, the National Athletic Trainers' Association Inter-Association Task Force (NATA-IATF) released preseason heat-acclimatization guidelines for gradually acclimatizing high school (HS) athletes to the environment during the first 2 weeks of the preseason and reducing the risk of exertional heat illness. However, researchers who studied the 2011 preseason found a low level of overall compliance.    Objective  To assess compliance with the NATA-IATF guidelines during the 2017 preseason and compare the findings with 2011 preseason data and between states mandating and not mandating the guidelines.    Design  Cross-sectional study.    Setting  Preseason HS football, 2017.    Patients or Other Participants  A total of 1023 athletic trainers working with HS football (14.2% response rate).    Main Outcome Measure(s)  Using a survey, we acquired information from athletic trainers on their HS football programs, including location and compliance with 17 NATA-IATF guidelines during the 2017 football preseason. The outcome measures were full compliance with all 17 NATA-IATF guidelines and compliance with ≥10 NATA-IATF guidelines. Prevalence ratios (PRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) compared findings between (1) the 2017 and 2011 preseasons and (2) states whose HS athletic associations imposed a full or partial or no mandate to follow the NATA-IATF guidelines.    Results  Overall, 3.9% reported full compliance with NATA-IATF guidelines; 73.9% complied with ≥10 guidelines. The proportion reporting full compliance was higher in 2017 than in 2011 but not statistically different (3.9% versus 2.5%; PR = 1.54; 95% CI = 0.96, 2.46). However, the proportion reporting compliance with ≥10 guidelines was higher in 2017 (73.9% versus 57.9%; PR = 1.28; 95% CI = 1.20, 1.36). The proportion of respondents reporting their HSs were fully compliant was highest among the with-mandate group (9.4%), followed by the partial-mandate group (4.6%) and the without-mandate group (0.6%). Group differences retained significance when we examined compliance with ≥10 guidelines.    Conclusions  Although full compliance with NATA-IATF guidelines remained low, many HS football programs complied with ≥10 guidelines.
