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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: To date, little research has focused on club sport athletes (CSAs) and it is unclear if their alcohol use more resembles that of varsity athletes (VAs) or the general college population. This study assessed the similarities and differences between varsity athletes (n = 90) and club sport athletes (n = 146) and the relations between their alcohol use patterns and proximity to sport-related goals, as well as other athletic and non-athletic individual difference variables, including athletic identity, plans for future sport involvement and affect. Participants were aged 18-23 (47% male) from a medium-sized Division I University. Participants completed questionnaires assessing alcohol use patterns, proximity to sport-related goals, athletic identity, plans for future sport involvement, current affect, and demographic information. Differences emerged between VA and CSA subsamples on alcohol use patterns, with VAs reporting significantly higher alcohol consumption and negative consequences associated with alcohol than did CSAs. Separate prediction models for VAs and CSAs using multiple regression were built. Results indicated that neither the key predictor variable, proximity to sport-related goals, nor any of the other theoretical predictor variables accounted for a significant portion of the variance in the VA model; however, athletic identity accounted for an additional 4% of the variance beyond demographic factors in alcohol use patterns for CSAs. Those CSAs with greater athletic identity had more problematic alcohol use. Future studies may wish to focus on shared variables such as peer environment rather than on individual difference factors.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study contributes new literature to the growing body of research on college student drinking. This study examined the relationship between college student alcohol use, alcohol-related problems and drinking games participation (DG), notably the meditational role of positive alcohol expectancies between participation, use, and problems. Participants included 1329 entering freshmen at a Bay Area university who self-identified as 18 years of ago or older, reported a recent experience of drinking alcohol, and who completed the survey during orientation before their first academic quarter. Participants were asked to complete brief questionnaires regarding demographics, alcohol use during the previous three months, alcohol-related consequences, frequency of DG participation, favorite DG, and the Alcohol Expectancy Inventory (AEI). Simple regressions were used to examine the relationships between overall alcohol use, as measured by the Quantity Frequency Index (QFI), the number of different alcohol-related problems, and frequency of DG participation. A Chi-squared analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between type of game, as outlined by LaBrie (2013) and frequency of participation. An analysis of variance was conducted to examine the relationship between the frequency of DG participation and number of alcohol-related problems endorsed by students. To assess the effect of positive alcohol expectancies on the relationship between QFI and DG participation, a meditational path analysis was implemented using procedures outlined by Baron and Kenny (1986). Results indicate that increased frequency of alcohol involvement is associated with an increase in the number of alcohol-related problems. Similarly, greater frequency of DG participation was associated with a greater number of problems endorsed by students, as well as greater alcohol involvement overall. Type of DG was not associated with participation or problems in this study. Additionally, positive alcohol expectancies did not appear to mediate the relationship between DG participation and alcohol involvement, in support of resent research, which indicates that motives, rather than expectancies, may be a stronger mediator of college student drinking practices and negative alcohol-related consequences. Furthermore, this study supports literature demonstrating an association between DG participation and alcohol involvement. College drinking prevention and intervention programs may benefit from targeting DG involvement specifically.

Book excerpt: This monograph focuses on the virtually ignored issues of the academic problems of high school athletes. All the problems of college sport exist at the high school level. For example, "redshirting" occurs when a school has an athlete sit out a year so that the athlete can mature physically and have four years of eligiblity. This problem exists in the secondary grades as well as in colleges. The ramifications of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Proposition 48 are discussed as they have an impact on students at both high school and college level. The legal aspects of "No Pass No Play" policies in Texas and other areas are discussed. Recommendations are made for higher academic requirements for talented student athletes. Current state academic requirements for athletes are listed and references are included. (JD)

This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.
