Prior research shows that college athletes have higher rates of substance use, especially alcohol, than do college students who are not involved in athletics. To augment the literature, the author sought to determine which sports/teams are at the greatest risk for substance use.
The author used data from the 1999 Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study, a national survey of college and university students in the United States.
A series of chi-square and logistic regression models examined variation in substance use among college athletes on the basis of sport/team affiliation.
Findings indicated that male hockey and female soccer athletes were the most likely to report substance use and that male basketball and cross-country/track athletes reported lower levels of substance use.
There is variation in substance use on the basis of sport/team affiliation, and future researchers should examine why certain groups of athletes have higher rates of substance use.
先前的研究表明，与未参加体育活动的大学生相比，大学生运动员使用毒品的比例更高，尤其是酒精。为了丰富相关文献，作者试图确定哪些运动项目/团队使用毒品的风险最大。
作者使用了1999年哈佛公共卫生学院大学生酒精研究的数据，该研究是对美国大学生进行的一项全国性调查。
一系列卡方检验和逻辑回归模型，根据运动项目/团队归属，研究了大学生运动员使用毒品情况的差异。
研究结果表明，男子曲棍球运动员和女子足球运动员报告使用毒品的可能性最高，而男子篮球运动员以及越野/田径运动员报告的毒品使用水平较低。
根据运动项目/团队归属，毒品使用情况存在差异，未来的研究人员应探究为何某些运动员群体的毒品使用率较高。
