| Popis: | Objective To evaluate dietary supplement information needs among collegiate athletes. Methods Three hundred seven (n = 154 male; n = 153 female) student athletes participating in a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I team completed a dietary supplement survey. Qualitative coding addressed open-ended responses, and chi-square test of independence explored differences among athlete subgroups. Results Five themes representing athletes’ information needs included quality/composition (53.5%; n = 77), general information (31.9%; n = 46), nutrition information (30.6%; n = 44), performance (18.8%; n = 27), and body composition (13.2%; n = 19). Athletes with “no” or “minimal” (n = 63), vs “moderate” or “strong” (n = 195), perceived knowledge of supplement safety were more likely to list a question about supplement quality or composition (34.9% [n = 22/63] vs 21.5% [n= 42/195]; P = .03; chi-square = 4.6). Conclusions and Implications Further research is needed to corroborate findings to inform educational efforts and promote safe and effective use of dietary supplements by student athletes. |
