Given the substantial increase in nonmedical prescription drug use in recent years and a lack of research on the topic, the author analyzed data on nonmedical prescription drug use among college students.
Using data from the 2001 College Alcohol Study (N = 10,904), the author examined variation in nonmedical prescription drug use on the basis of athletic involvement. Previous research shows that college athletes are at greater risk for certain types of substance use.
Findings indicate that athletes are less likely to report nonmedical prescription drug use than are nonathletes.
This shows that involvement in athletics, especially for women, is a protective factor for substance use among college students.
鉴于近年来非医疗用途处方药的使用大幅增加且缺乏相关研究，作者分析了大学生非医疗用途处方药使用的数据。
作者利用2001年大学生酒精研究的数据（N = 10904），基于体育活动参与情况研究非医疗用途处方药使用的差异。先前的研究表明，大学生运动员使用某些类型药物的风险更高。
研究结果表明，与非运动员相比，运动员报告非医疗用途处方药使用的可能性更小。
这表明参与体育活动，尤其是对女性而言，是大学生药物使用的一个保护因素。
