Although collegiate athletes underutilize mental health programming, investigators have rarely examined factors that may influence their participation in such programs. The current study examined how structured interviews and demographic factors influence collegiate athletes to use psychological programming. Two‐hundred and eighty‐nine collegiate athletes were referred to the study. They were screened for mental health and randomly assigned to one of two semi‐structured interviews based on experimental phase. Participants in Phase I received standard engagement (SE; N = 35) or SE + discussion of mental health (DMH; N = 44). Phase II participants received SE + DMH (N = 82) or SE + DMH + discussion of personal ambitions (DPA; N = 66). Phase III participants received SE + DMH + discussion about their culture of choice (DCC; N = 25) or SE + DMH + discussion of sport culture (DSC; N = 37). After receiving the respective interview participants were offered psychological assessment and intervention. χ² analyses revealed class standing, mental health symptom severity, referral type, and type of engagement interview influenced program commitment/utilization. Logistic regression analyses indicated SE + DMH + DPA and SE + DMH + DSC uniquely improved assessment attendance whereas referrals from coaches/teammates, participation in sport performance workshops, and senior status uniquely improved assessment and intervention attendance.

影响大学生运动员利用心理评估和干预服务的因素的综合考察

尽管大学生运动员没有充分利用心理健康计划，但调查人员很少​​检查可能影响他们参与此类计划的因素。目前的研究调查了结构化访谈和人口统计因素如何影响大学运动员使用心理编程。289 名大学运动员参加了这项研究。他们接受了心理健康筛查，并根据实验阶段随机分配到两个半结构化访谈之一。第一阶段的参与者接受了标准参与（SE；N  = 35）或 SE + 心理健康讨论（DMH；N  = 44）。第二阶段参与者接受 SE + DMH ( N  = 82) 或 SE + DMH + 讨论个人抱负 (DPA; N = 66）。第三阶段参与者接受了 SE + DMH + 关于他们选择的文化的讨论（DCC；N  = 25）或 SE + DMH + 对体育文化的讨论（DSC；N  = 37）。在接受了各自的采访后，参与者接受了心理评估和干预。χ ²分析显示班级排名、心理健康症状严重程度、转诊类型和参与面谈类型影响项目承诺/利用。逻辑回归分析表明，SE + DMH + DPA 和 SE + DMH + DSC 独特地提高了评估出勤率，而教练/队友的推荐、参加运动表现研讨会和高级身份独特地提高了评估和干预出勤率。
