This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three main purposes of this study were (a) to determine the quantity-frequency rates of alcohol use, combined use (using an energy drink within plus or minus four hours of consuming alcohol), and energy drink use in a population of D-I athletes, (b) to compare reported risk taking behaviors and negative health consequences within combined users (n = 132), and (c) to investigate differences between men and women on reported risk taking behaviors. A total of 401 student athletes from a large Division I university participated in the study. From the complete Quick Drink Screen (QDS) sample of 401 athletes, 315 or 78.55% used alcohol, 150 or 37.41% combined, and 194 or 48.62% used energy drinks within the past year. Results indicated that combined users consumed significantly more alcohol than athletes that used alcohol only. However, combined users consumed nearly double the amount of alcohol when they did not combine energy drinks with alcohol. Yet, results of the Brief Comprehensive Effects of Alcohol (B-CEOA) and Combined Use (B-CEOCU) expectancy measures still indicated that when athletes combined they took significantly more risks and experienced significantly more negative consequences. Results also indicated that men took significantly more risks than women while drinking alcohol only and combining.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been well researched that college student alcohol use is a public health concern and that college students as a general population are at risk for excessive alcohol use and binge drinking. Within the wide population of college students, student-athletes are at a particularly high risk for excessive alcohol consumption. Collegiate student-athletes have been found to be more likely than their peers to report alcohol-related negative consequences. In studying why athletes drink more than their peers, collegiate student-athlete alcohol research purports that motives for alcohol use stem from both general and sport-related motives. Social norms research, particularly descriptive and injunctive norms, has also been used to explain alcohol use habits in college students and student-athletes. Alcohol use is also strongly influenced by cultural norms and beliefs that one may develop in their country of origin. No research currently exists that studies how domestic and international student-athletes differ in alcohol use trends. The current study intends to bridge gaps in the literature by investigating alcohol use among international and domestic student-athletes and the resulting relationship between factors such as alcohol consumption, drinking motives, negative consequences of alcohol use, and a student-athlete's country of origin. It was hypothesized that student-athletes from the United States would report significantly different alcohol use behaviors than their International counterparts. NCAA student-athletes (n = 1330) completed an online questionnaire that included a demographics survey, country of origin questions, social norms perceptions questions, alcohol use questions, Athlete Drinking Scale, Drinking Motives Questionnaire-Revised, and Rutger's Alcohol Problem Index. Multiple MANCOVA analyses were run to examine differences in alcohol use behaviors between the three pairs of independent variables while controlling for gender and age. Analyses revealed significant effects for country of origin on student-athletes perceived injunctive norms and sport-related drinking motives. Specifically, international student-athletes perceived that friends from their country of origin approve of binge drinking more than United States student-athletes perceived their friends approve of binge drinking. Also, United States student-athletes endorsed all sport-related drinking motives more than international student-athletes endorsed the same motives, meaning that American student-athletes are more motivated to drink alcohol due to sport-related drinking motives than in international student-athletes are motivated to drink due to sport-related drinking motives.

Download or read book Relationship Between High risk Drinking and Team Cohesion Among College Athletes written by Jeff Graham and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Heavy alcohol consumption among college students can be problematic, particularly for student-athletes. According to prior research discussed in this study, college athletes have higher binge drinking rates than non-athletes and tend to have higher levels of intoxication when they drink, subsequently, athletes are more likely to experience alcohol-related harms and consequences. Additionally, research indicates that athletic team members often socialize around alcohol consumption and certain team characteristics may influence drinking behaviors. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between high-risk drinking and team cohesion among college athletes. The researcher collected data from 382 student-athletes from 14 teams at a public university in the mid-Atlantic region to study the strength of association between high-risk drinking and several predictor variables, including team cohesion, gender, race, class rank, and type of sport. Findings from this study will serve to inform coaches, athletic directors, and student affairs professionals on issues associated with the relationship between student-athlete alcohol consumption and team cohesion, particularly as it relates to how student-athletes may socialize and bond around alcohol consumption." -- Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A particularly high-risk time on campus is the alcohol consumption associated with collegiate sporting events, specifically tailgating. The purpose of this dissertation was twofold; first, to identify and critically examine the literature on alcohol use at college sporting events, specifically football games; second, to assess college presidents' perceptions of alcohol policies regulating alcohol consumption during tailgating using the Health Belief Model. The literature review was accomplished by using multiple search engines, including Academic Search Complete, PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, Health Source, Sociological Collection, SocINDEX, APA PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar to examine articles published on alcohol use among college students at collegiate sporting events, or football game-day. To be included in the literature review, articles must have been published in the United States within the year 2000 to 2019. A cross-sectional research design was used for the second study, which comprised of a 20-item survey questionnaire assessing college president's perceptions of alcohol use during college sporting events. The survey instrument included items assessing the Stages of Change from the Transtheoretical Model, as well as the perceived benefits, barrier, severity, and susceptibility constructs from the Health Belief Model. A population census was conducted utilizing the 2019 NCAA Division-I Football Bowl Subdivision listing (N=130). The critical literature review search yielded 25, scientific, peer-reviewed articles involving alcohol use associated with college football games. In many of the studies, researchers used cross-sectional study designs (72%), obtained convenience samples (32%), and did not include reliability and/or validity measures (48%). Data were collected either online (36%), with a paper and pencil questionnaire (32%), hybrid (in-person and online) (12%), or case-study (12%). Three topics emerged from the literature, including alcohol related epidemiological trends (drinking behavior on game-day, negative consequences, and gender), social norm perceptions, and alcohol policies. In the second study, university presidents and chancellors from 130 Division I Football Subdivision (FBS) schools were selected to participate in a study assessing perceptions regarding safety issues pertaining to college sporting events. Respondents from 59 universities completed the survey, yielding a modest response rate of 49.6%. Collectively, respondents were categorized into senior-level administrators (presidents, chancellors, provosts), mid-level administrators (deans, department chairs, department directors), and specialists (substance abuse coordinators). Nearly two-thirds (62.7%; n=37) of the participants surveyed indicated their institution sold alcohol in the stadium, 12.5% (n=7) banned alcohol use during college sporting events, and the remaining schools allowed alcohol use with restrictions. Regarding tailgating, the majority (68.4%) of respondents indicated their institution had a policy regulating alcohol consumption. Multiple regression analyses were used to assess which constructs of the HBM were most predictive of presidential support for alcohol policies on game-day. The perceived benefits was the only construct yielding statistically significant results for both presidential support for restrictive alcohol polices as well as opposition for the sale of alcohol within the stadium. Notably, the enforcement of alcohol regulations during college football games varied across the spectrum (rarely, sometimes, often, always). Overall, event specific research, particularly studies addressing the alcohol use associated with college sporting events constitutes an emerging area of study. Results from the literature review demonstrate that college football games signify a time whereby fans consume alcohol at higher rates than they do during other social occasions. The scientific rigor employed by the researchers varied from study to study and several gaps in the literature were identified. In particular, a current national study identifying drinking patterns and alcohol related policies would allow universities to compare their institution to others and benchmark prevalence rates. Additionally, rigorous studies utilizing randomized control trials, thorough evaluation of interventions, especially related to policy implementation, and information from senior-level administrators about how to address game-day safety issues are lacking from the literature. Findings from the second study indicated that universities were at various stages in terms of their readiness to address the alcohol consumption associated with tailgating. Multivariate analysis revealed the perceived benefits construct from the HBM was associated with support for implementing restrictive alcohol polices. Thus, emphasizing the benefits of policy implementation should be used to generate policy change for college sporting events. While the opinions of university presidents and other senior administrators are essential, additional information could be obtained by assessing athletic directors and prevention specialists. Qualitative data may also provide information on why key stakeholders feel the way they do about various game-day prevention related policies. Ultimately the results from both studies can be used to create a safer game-day environment and reduce the liability universities may incur for the alcohol consumption that frequently occurs during college sporting events.

Book excerpt: The athletics season at colleges and universities is well under way, with college football games drawing millions of spectators. For example, Clemson University, with an enrollment of 17,000 students, is located in Clemson, S.C., with a population of approximately 12,000. But Clemson Memorial Stadium, which can seat more than 80,000 football fans, is often filled to capacity. And game days at colleges and universities across the nation are often accompanied by daylong drinking and partying. In addition, college football games and other sports events, steeped in a tradition of rivalry between schools, have long been associated with rowdy and risky behavior fueled by alcohol. Increases in alcohol availability lead to increases in alcohol consumption, which in turn lead to increases in alcohol problems, according to a number of research reports from sources such as the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the Institute of Medicine. A number of environmental strategies are available to reduce the social and commercial availability of alcohol to college students in order to reduce certain types of alcohol-related problems. Most have not been studied, and evidence is limited or nonexistent regarding their effectiveness for college populations. Nevertheless, colleges and universities have adopted various policies aimed at reducing access to alcohol at athletics events, from outright bans on alcohol in stadiums to limits on tailgating parties.

Book excerpt: This study was designed to investigate male college athlete's perceptions of alcohol and drugs, attitudes toward alcohol and drugs, self-reported alcohol and drug related consequences, and self-reported amount of alcohol consumption on their respective college campuses. Two hundred and ten male college football and basketball players from two Midwestern universities were surveyed. A total response rate of 81.4% was the initial return rate for this study; however 6.7% of the individuals did not complete the survey correctly so the effective return rate was 74.8%. Analysis of the data was completed through the use of independent samples t-test, Chi-Square analysis, and descriptive statistics. The research questions were evaluated at .05 alpha levels. Additionally the Bonferroni technique was utilized to yield a corrected alpha level. This technique was utilized in order to control for the effects of multiple comparisons on the same data set. There was a significant difference found between male college football and basketball players on their perceptions of alcohol use. Male football athletes perceived that other students consume alcohol in higher amounts. No significant difference was found between male college football and basketball player as it related to their perception of marijuana and illicit drug use. No significant difference was found between male college football and basketball players on their attitude toward alcohol and marijuana use. The majority of male college basketball and football players reported that use of illicit drugs is unacceptable. Further, no significant difference was found between male college football and basketball players on their self-reported alcohol and drug related consequences. A significant difference was found between male college football and basketball players. Male college football players reported consuming alcohol in greater quantities. Findings from this study suggest that male college football players consume more alcohol than male college basketball players. Moreover, this study suggests that male college football players perceived that other students consume alcohol in higher amounts when compared to male college basketball players.
