Implication

Cohort baseline survey uncovers high depression symptom prevalence among collegiate athletes, highlighting female sex, freshman status, and pain as major vulnerability factors.

Key Points

To determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms and identify associated demographic and clinical risk factors among competitive collegiate student athletes.
Conducted a baseline survey of a prospective cohort involving 257 NCAA Division I student athletes (167 males, 90 females) during preseason team meetings in the 2005-2006 academic year.
Assessed depressive symptoms using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD) and anxiety levels via the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
Modeled risk factors for depressive symptoms using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) adjusted for sport type and other covariates.
Depressive symptoms were reported by 21% of the collegiate athlete cohort.
Female athletes exhibited significantly increased odds of depressive symptoms compared to male peers (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.73), and freshmen demonstrated higher odds than upperclassmen (OR 3.27, 95% CI 1.63 to 6.59), with self-reported pain also independently increasing risk.
Athletes reporting symptoms of depression had significantly higher scores for both state anxiety and trait anxiety (P < 0.0001).
