초록

The intercollegiate athletes today are faced with the temptation to use a variety of drugs in their campus and home life. The purpose of this study was to identify the attitudes of intercollegiate athletes toward banned drugs and drug testing, and to suggest drug prevention methods which can be utilized by intercollegiate athletics coaches. Above all, the drug testing is necessary to provide a source of basic information to be used in planning the prevention and intervention program. To accomplish intercollegiate athletes’ participation in drug testing, the intercollegiate athletes should have a positive attitude about the drug testing and perceive the necessity of the drug testing. The athletic coaches also have to have a positive attitude toward the drug testing of intercollegiate athletes and recognize their roles in preventing drug use among intercollegiate athletes. The athletic coaches should have abundant information and knowledge regarding drugs to prevent drug use among intercollegiate athletes as well as to foster a positive and active attitude toward preventing drug use. The athletic coaches also should continuously try to find and identify the intercollegiate athletes who may be using drugs. It is especially important that the athletic coaches should help their intercollegiate athletes to overcome drug use problems and refine their own positions before drug use is detected in their team.
