Can more sports in school work as prevention against alcohol consumption for young people? : A quantitative study on high school students' alcohol habits with regard to the number of hours of physical education at school.

Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka elevers alkoholvanor för de som läste specialidrott i förhållande till de som inte läste specialidrott. Frågeställningar - Hur såg elevers alkoholvanor ut för de som läste specialidrott i jämförelse med elever som inte läste specialidrott? - Hur såg elevernas alkoholvanor ut de senaste 12 månaderna? Metod Kvantitativ enkätstudie med enbart fasta svarsalternativ kopplade till frågorna. I studien deltog 163 gymnasieelever från två kommunala gymnasieskolor i centrala Stockholm där 72 elever läste specialidrott och 91 elever inte läste specialidrott. Alla deltagare som läste specialidrott sysslade med lagidrott. Resultat Det mest centrala resultatet i studien var att det fanns en statistisk signifikant skillnad (p=0,004) att det var färre elever som läste specialidrott som hade konsumerat alkohol jämfört med elever som inte läste specialidrott. Däremot fanns det inga statistiskt signifikanta skillnader vad gällde vid vilken ålder alkoholdebuten skedde, hur ofta eleverna konsumerade alkohol och med hur stor mängd varje konsumtionstillfälle innehöll. Slutsats Resultaten av studien visade att det var färre elever som läste specialidrott som konsumerade alkohol än elever som inte läste specialidrott.Aim The purpose of the study was to investigate students' alcohol habits for those who studied special sports in relation to those who did not study special sports. Issues - How did students' alcohol habits look for those who studied special sports compared to students who did not study special sports? - What did the students' drinking habits look like in the last 12 months? Method Quantitative survey study with only fixed answer options linked to the questions. 163 high school students from two municipal high schools in central Stockholm participated in the study, where 72 students studied special sports and 91 students did not study special sports. All participants who studied special sports were involved in team sports. Results The most central result in the study was that there was a statistically significant difference (p=0.004) that fewer students who studied special sports had consumed alcohol compared to students who did not study special sports. However, there were no statistically significant differences in terms of the age at which the alcohol debut took place, how often the students consumed alcohol and how much on each consumption occasion. Conclusion The results of the study show that fewer students who studied special sports consumed alcohol than students who did not study special sports.Ämneslärarprogrammet, Specialidrott
