目的:为了确定国家大学体育协会(NCAA)学生运动员对酒精,安非他明,合成代谢类固醇,可卡因/快克,麻黄碱,大麻/印度大麻,致幻剂和无烟烟草的物质使用模式。设计:自我报告,匿名,回顾性调查。参与者:来自991个NCAA分部I,II和III机构的30个运动项目的男女学生运动员。主要结果测量:受访者被问及他们在过去12个月内使用八类物质的情况。此外,数据收集有关物质的使用,根据团队,种族,NCAA分部,使用的原因,和药物的来源。结果:总体响应率为64.3%,637 991所学校的13,914名学生运动员的可用数据报告。在八类物质使用中,酒精是过去一年使用最广泛的药物,占80.5%,其次是大麻,占28.4%,无烟烟草占22.5%。虽然合成代谢类固醇的使用率为1.1%,但一些运动表现出更高的使用率,32.1%的人从该机构的团队医生以外的医生那里获得合成代谢类固醇。药物滥用的模式因体育运动的不同而有很大差异。结果还根据部门进行了分析,发现酒精,安非他明,大麻和致幻剂使用的可能性在第三部门中最高。此外,第二和第三分部使用麻黄碱的可能性最高,而第二分部使用可卡因的可能性最高。最后,根据种族的结果进行了分析,我们发现,使用无烟烟草,酒精,麻黄碱,安非他明,大麻和致幻剂的可能性是最高的高加索学生运动员。结论:该研究表明,使用跨NCAA部门和体育,以及种族群体之间的广泛变化。大多数学生运动员都使用药物,特别是酒精。根据调查,药物使用在三级学生运动员和高加索人中最高。通过研究使用原因,该研究将帮助专业人员设计针对各种物质的具体干预措施。这项研究提供了一种方法来调查大量的NCAA学生运动员,这将是每4年重复一次,以确定药物滥用的趋势。
Objective: To determine the substance-use patterns of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) student-athletes for alcohol, amphetamines, anabolic steroids, cocaine/crack, ephedrine, marijuana/hashish, psychedelicsihallucinogens, and smokeless tobacco.Design: Self-reported, anonymous, retrospective survey.Participants: Male and female student-athletes from 30 sports competing at 991 NCAA Division I, II, and III institutions.Main Outcome Measures: Respondents were queried about their use of eight categories of substances in the previous 12-month period. In addition, data were collected regarding substance use according to team, ethnicity, NCAA Division, reasons for use, and the sources for drugs.Results: The overall response rate was 64.3% with 637 of 991 schools reporting with usable data on 13,914 student-athletes. For the eight categories of substance use, alcohol was the most widely used drug in the past year at 80.5%, followed by marijuana at 28.4%, and smokeless tobacco at 22.5%. Although anabolic steroid use was reported at 1.1% overall, some sports demonstrated higher use, and 32.1% obtained their anabolic steroids from a physician other than the institution's team physician. There were wide variations in the pattern of substance abuse according to sport. The results were also analyzed according to division, and it was found that the likelihood of alcohol, amphetamines, marijuana, and psychedelics use is highest in Division III. In addition, the probability of ephedrine use is highest in both Division II and III, while Division Il had the highest likelihood of cocaine use. Finally, the results were analyzed according to ethnicity and we found that the likelihood of use of smokeless tobacco, alcohol, ephedrine, amphetamines, marijuana, and psychedelics is highest for Caucasian student-athletes.Conclusion: The study demonstrates a wide variation of use across NCAA divisions and sports, as well as among ethnic groups. The majority of student-athletes engage in substance use, especially alcohol. According to the survey, substance use is highest among Division III student-athletes and also among Caucasians. By examining reasons for use, the study will assist professionals in designing specific interventions for Various substances. This study provides a methodology for surveying a large number of NCAA student-athletes, which will be repeated every 4 years to identify trends in substance abuse.
