目标:在大学生中,学生运动员大量饮酒的风险增加,参与危险饮酒行为(例如,玩饮酒游戏[DG]),以及相对于非学生运动员的不良酒精相关后果。在学生运动员群体中,体育参与水平(例如,娱乐或大学运动)会影响饮酒行为和后果,但我们对运动参与程度影响DG的理解有限。因此,在本研究中,我们检查了参与DG的频率差异,玩DG时典型的饮料消费,负面的DG后果,以及在大学之间玩DG的动机,休闲娱乐,非学生运动员。
方法:大学生(美国12所学院/大学的N=7,901)完成了关于饮酒态度的问卷调查,行为,和后果。
结果:学生运动员(娱乐或大学运动)在过去一个月内参加DG的可能性比非学生运动员更高。在上个月报告DG游戏的学生中,与非学生运动员相比,休闲运动员的演奏频率更高,并且认可了更多的DG增强/刺激动机,与非学生运动员相比,学生运动员(休闲或大学)认可参加DG的比赛动机更高。
结论:这些发现揭示了休闲运动员的一些危险饮酒模式和动机,这些人在健康研究和临床实践中经常被忽视和资源不足。娱乐和大学学生运动员可以从酒精筛查和预防工作中受益,其中包括提供竞争性和无酒精的社交活动,以及促进酒精保护行为策略,以帮助降低休闲运动员在玩DG时受到伤害的风险。
OBJECTIVE: Among college students, student-athletes are at increased risk for heavy alcohol consumption, participation in risky drinking practices (e.g., playing drinking games [DG]), and adverse alcohol-related consequences relative to non-student-athletes. Within the student-athlete population, level of sports participation (e.g., recreational or varsity sports) can affect alcohol use behaviors and consequences, but our understanding of the extent to which level of sports participation influences engagement in DG is limited. Thus, in the present study, we examined differences in frequency of participation in DG, typical drink consumption while playing DG, negative DG consequences, and motives for playing DG among varsity, recreational, and non-student-athletes.
METHODS: College students (n = 7,901 across 12 U.S. colleges/universities) completed questionnaires on alcohol use attitudes, behaviors, and consequences.
RESULTS: Student-athletes (recreational or varsity sports) were more likely to have participated in DG within the past month than non-student-athletes. Among students who reported past-month DG play, recreational athletes played more often and endorsed more enhancement/thrills motives for playing DG than non-student-athletes, and student-athletes (recreational or varsity) endorsed higher levels of competition motives for playing DG than non-student-athletes.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings shed light on some risky drinking patterns and motives of recreational athletes who are often overlooked and under-resourced in health research and clinical practice. Recreational and varsity student-athletes could benefit from alcohol screening and prevention efforts, which can include provision of competitive and alcohol-free social activities and promotion of alcohol protective behavioral strategies to help reduce recreational athletes\' risk for harm while playing DG.
