Adolescence and emerging adulthood are critical windows for establishing life-long behaviors. We assessed long-term outcomes of a prospective randomized harm reduction/health promotion program for female high school athletes. The intervention's immediate beneficial effects on diet pill use and unhealthy eating behaviors have been reported; however, tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use were not immediately altered (Elliot et al, 2004). One to three years following graduation, positive benefits in those domains became evident, and intervention students reported significantly less lifetime use of cigarettes, marijuana, and alcohol. Sport teams may be effective vehicles for gender-specific interventions to promote competency skills and deter harmful actions, and those benefits may manifest when acquired abilities are applied in new environments following high school graduation.
青春期和成年早期是养成终身行为的关键时期。我们评估了一项针对高中女运动员的前瞻性随机减少伤害/健康促进项目的长期效果。此前已有报告称该干预措施对减肥药使用和不健康饮食行为有直接的有益影响；然而，烟草、酒精和大麻的使用并未立即改变（埃利奥特等人，2004年）。毕业一至三年后，这些方面的积极益处变得明显，接受干预的学生报告称，其一生之中香烟、大麻和酒精的使用量显著减少。运动队可能是进行针对性别干预以提升能力技能和阻止有害行为的有效载体，而当所学能力在高中毕业后应用于新环境时，这些益处可能会显现出来。
