This study investigated the relationships among sports-specific factors, perceived peer drinking, and alcohol-related behaviors among adolescents, examining sex differences in the relationship between perceived peer drinking and alcohol-related behaviors. A questionnaire assessing demographics, sports-specific factors, perceived peer drinking, and alcohol-related behaviors was administered among 378 adolescents who were mostly male (76.3%) and non-Hispanic black (70.0%). Varsity sports participants reported higher levels of perceived peer drinking compared to those who participated in sports at other levels (B 0.64, 95% CI 0.28, 0.99, p<0.001). Participants in both sports offering team- and individual-level competition reported greater perceived peer drinking (B 0.71, 95% CI 0.05, 1.38, p=0.04), compared to those who only participated in individual sports. Perceived peer drinking was associated with alcohol-related behaviors (B 0.39, 95% CI 0.31, 0.47, p<0.001) and there were no significant differences between males and females in this relationship. Suggestions for future research include examining factors contributing to the low prevalence of drinking behaviors, and investigating factors related to sports that impact perceived peer drinking and alcohol-related behaviors.
本研究调查了运动特异性因素、感知同伴饮酒与青少年饮酒相关行为之间的关系，检验了感知同伴饮酒与饮酒相关行为之间关系的性别差异。在 378 名青少年中进行了一项问卷调查，评估人口统计学、运动特异性因素、感知同伴饮酒和饮酒相关行为，他们主要是男性（76.3%）和非西班牙裔黑人（70.0%）。与参加其他级别运动的参与者相比，参加校队运动的参与者报告的感知同伴饮酒水平更高（B 0.64，95%CI 0.28，0.99，p<0.001）。参加提供团队和个人级别比赛的运动的参与者报告的感知同伴饮酒量更高（B 0.71，95%CI 0.05，1.38，p=0.04），而仅参加个人运动的参与者则不然。感知同伴饮酒与饮酒相关行为相关（B 0.39，95%CI 0.31，0.47，p<0.001），并且在这种关系中，男性和女性之间没有显著差异。未来研究的建议包括研究导致饮酒行为低流行率的因素，以及调查与感知同伴饮酒和饮酒相关行为相关的运动因素。
