Abstract
- The literature review investigates the relationship between alcohol and college athletes. College athletes are a high-risk drinking group; alcohol use amongst collegiate athletes is a major concern due to the consequences associated with use. It is important to review student-athlete behavior and influences that contribute to alcohol use in order to design a program that effectively prevents use and intervenes use when it occurs. Results from original articles were used to support the need for effective prevention/intervention programs for this population based on the severity and frequency of use, negative effects of alcohol, and lack of effective prevention/intervention programs. Coaches, athletic personnel, and universities need to implement effective programs in order to promote student-athlete well-being and athletic success. This paper concludes with practical recommendations for coaches, athletic personnel, and universities to take into consideration when implementing an effective prevention/intervention program.
