Background: The efficacy of the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) and Compulsive Exercise Test (CET) as a screening tool for identifying runners who are at high-risk for incurring a stress fracture. A screening tool that incorporates both physical and psychological risk factors may be key in preventing stress fracture incidence in collegiate runners. Methods: A descriptive survey was designed and filled out by collegiate runners to collect information about various well-known risk factors as well as age, gender, anthropometric measures, injury history, competitive training years, weekly training mileage, and history of disordered eating. The AIMS and CET were included in the survey. Results were collected and analyzed for correlations. Results: AIMS score and LESF incidence had a moderate positive correlation (r=0.44). AIMS score and LESF incidence within the past year had a weak positive correlation (r=0.38). CET score and shin splints incidence had a weak positive correlation (r=0.322). Conclusion: A correlation was seen between stress fracture incidence and AIMS scores. However, this correlation is not strong enough to predict stress fracture incidence by itself
