Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of San Francisco, 2003.

Many adolescent girls experience periods of depression and low self-esteem which may lead to poor behavioral choices regarding drugs and alcohol, sexual activity, and dietary practices (Zimmerman & Reavill, 1998). These same girls may also lose interest in challenging activities such as athletics while enduring these symptoms (American Association of University Women, 1991). This is unfortunate, as it has been suggested that adolescent females involved in sports tend to avoid the pitfalls of modern adolescence (Zimmerman & Reavill).Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Many adolescent girls experience periods of depression and low self-esteem which may lead to poor behavioral choices regarding drugs and alcohol, sexual activity, and dietary practices (Zimmerman & Reavill, 1998). These same girls may also lose interest in challenging activities such as athletics while enduring these symptoms (American Association of University Women, 1991). This is unfortunate, as it has been suggested that adolescent females involved in sports tend to avoid the pitfalls of modern adolescence (Zimmerman & Reavill).
520 $a This study investigated the impact of athletic participation on the behavior of adolescent girls in Catholic schools. The study examined the relationship between team sports participation and the behaviors of adolescent girls in the following areas: alcohol, tobacco, drug use, sexual activity, and body image. The instrument used for this study was an adapted version of the Youth Risk Behavior Survey developed by the Center for Disease Control (1988). It was administered to a sample of 448 female athletes and non-athletes enrolled in Catholic high schools in California and Oregon.
520 $a The data indicated that female athletes engaged in risk behaviors less frequently than female non-athletes. Athletes not only consumed alcohol less frequently than non-athletes but also chose to drink smaller amounts of alcohol when they did choose to drink. While neither group smoked cigarettes on a regular basis, the non-athletes smoked more frequently than the athletes. With respect to drug use, marijuana was the only drug used with some regularity by the two groups and the athletes were found to use this drug less frequently than the non-athletes. Non-athletes were found to be more sexually active than athletes and engaged in their first sexual experience at an earlier age. Athletes had fewer sexual partners and a smaller number of athletes reported that they had been pregnant. The only behavior in which no significant results were discovered was diet and body image, as the two groups reported similar results in this area.
520 $a These results suggested that athletic participation has an impact on the behavior of adolescent girls. While there is a need for further research, this study may help begin the discussion of the importance of sports in the lives of young women.
