The aim of the project is to develop an anti-doping education framework for the World ParaVolley Association (WPV) For a complete list of National Federations involved, refer to World ParaVolley’s membership.

The proposed objectives will be achieved through a mixedmethods approach delineating action-oriented research. The mixed methods approach will be crucial to understanding the sports person's experience with NADA’s anti-doping educational awareness interventions and, thereby, the measures to improve them.

This project investigates the beliefs, attitudes, and awareness of doping among student-athletes in Singapore. A mixed methodologies of quantitative online surveys and qualitative interviews, focusing on student-athletes attending the National University of Singapore (NUS). In hopes to offer insight into Singapore student-athletes’ doping vulnerability, experience of the anti-doping system, and the factors shaping these aspects. Additionally, shedding light on nonsport influences on substance use among young people in larger society and how these influences might indirectly affect student-athletes’ doping attitudes in sport.

The proposed project will identify and characterize sportspecific stressors contributing to doping vulnerability among athletes, to include exploring their impact, frequency, severity, timing, and duration. Additionally, it seeks to investigate how psychological flexibility moderates the relationship between these stressors and doping vulnerability, thereby protecting athletes from doping.

A qualitative approach and informed by a co-design process with national anti-doping and sporting organizations. This project seeks to interview women in three countries to 1) investigate the role of support personnel (e.g., coaches, trainers, partners) in facilitating or preventing PIED use, and 2) to understand the broader psycho-socio-cultural factors that contribute to facilitating or preventing PIED use among female athletes. Investigating when, why, and how women choose to use or avoid PIEDs this project will gain important insights on women’s lived experiences with PIEDs.

A cross-sectional survey design and recruit a large sample of elite athletes (1500) from the said countries. The survey will include a number of validated screening tools in Spanish about self-compassion, mindfulness, sport anxiety, perfectionism, and doping susceptibility. Participants will also be invited to take part in a podcast series and to share their insights and experiences on doping in sport. In order to contribute towards more informed decision-making playing a crucial role in the prevention of doping behavior in the PANRADO Region, while focusing on a positive psychology approach emphasizing the role of mindfulness and selfcompassion.

The WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) Education Committee is seeking to target its Social Science Research Program to areas that would have greatest return in terms of enhancing the effectiveness of anti-doping education interventions. The objective of this project was to use the Sport Drug Control Model framework (SDCM; Donovan et al., 2002) to establish priorities for future social science research by reviewing what research has been completed in each of the model’s domains and identifying where more research is needed. The primary required outcome was the list of recommendations rather than the review per se.

Recognising the pivotal role that coaches play in clean sport, the World Anti-Doping Agency
(WADA) commissioned the International Council for Coaching Excellence (ICCE) to conduct a
research project to explore the potential of High Performance Training Centres (HPCs) to
become anti-doping training providers. This report provides guidance for the development of
a sustainable, cooperative and international anti-doping training programme for high
performance coaches.
