College student-athletes tend to consume more alcohol, engage in sex, and report more sex partners than nonathlete students. The current study examined the relationship between religiosity (e.g., influence of religious beliefs and church attendance) and alcohol use and sex behavior among college student-athletes. Most of the student-athletes (n=83) were religious. Influence of religious beliefs was a significant predictor of less alcohol use and less sexual activity (i.e., oral and vaginal sex, number of sex partners). However, increased church attendance was not found to be a protective factor. Findings suggest that religious beliefs may contribute to reduction of alcohol use and sexual risk among college student-athletes. Consideration should be given to incorporating religiosity aspects in sexual and alcohol risk-reduction interventions for student-athletes.
大学生运动员比非运动员学生更倾向于饮酒、发生性行为，且报告的性伴侣更多。本研究考察了宗教信仰（如宗教信仰和教堂出席率的影响）与大学生运动员饮酒和性行为之间的关系。大多数运动员（n=83）是有宗教信仰的。宗教信仰的影响是饮酒量减少和性行为减少（即口交和阴道性交、性伴侣数量）的重要预测因素。然而，增加去教堂的次数并没有被发现是一个保护因素。研究结果表明，宗教信仰可能有助于减少大学生运动员的饮酒和性风险。在为运动员制定性和酒精风险降低干预措施时，应该考虑将宗教信仰方面纳入其中。
