The purpose of this study was to determine alcohol-related unintentional injury (ARUI) prevalence as well as the associated correlates and predictors in a nationally representative sample of collegiate athletes. We utilized a cross-sectional secondary data analysis of undergraduate varsity and club sport athletes who drank alcohol at least once in their lifetime from the spring 2018 American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment II survey data (N = 8,715). Including the main outcome variable of ARUI, we examined both individual-level and institutional-level indicators in relation to report of ARUI prevalence in the past 12 months. The ARUI prevalence was 15.1%. The strongest predictors of having had an ARUI in the past year were alcohol use in past 30 days; heavy episodic drinking (HED); not utilizing protective behaviors when drinking; high level of stress in the past year; intentionally injuring oneself; and seriously considered suicide when drinking. Identifying the correlates and predictors of ARUI in college athletes will support education and intervention to reduce high-risk alcohol consumption and associated consequences, like ARUI.
