Funded Activity Summary
Evaluation of a psychological anti-doping intervention for athletes. This project builds on previous research that developed a psychological profile of athletes susceptible to doping. The primary objective is to refine and pilot an intervention involving psycho-educational activities and exercises that can be used to reduce an athlete's susceptibility to doping. Current anti-doping programs focus on knowledge of banned substances, reporting and testing requirements, and penalties for noncompliance. These programs ignore psychological variables that may render an athlete susceptible to doping. The successful application of the psychological anti-doping intervention is expected to provide an internationally significant contribution to doping prevention and the social science research on which it is based.Funded Activity Details
