Gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, school type, and previous mental health treatment had large effects on these 2 symptoms. However, of the student-athletes who reported overwhelming anxiety as a symptom, only one-fourth (22.9%, n = 5649) indicated they received a diagnosis of anxiety with or without treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Factors such as the year in school and availability of mental health information appeared to have little effect on the experience of anxiety-related symptoms and the propensity to seek treatment. However, other factors, including gender, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, school type, and previous mental health treatment, did have important effects. Our study provides additional evidence that the stresses placed on collegiate student-athletes frequently led to feelings of being overwhelmed and, eventually, anxiety disorder diagnoses. However, most student-athletes experiencing anxiety-related symptoms still did not seek a diagnosis with or without treatment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-0334.22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T12:05:46Z","timestamp":1695384346000},"page":"722-732","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Factors Affecting Anxiety-Related Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment Among Collegiate Student-Athletes in the National College Health Assessment"],"prefix":"10.4085","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Brian","family":"Edwards","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology and Health, Wright State University, Fairborn, OH"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew William","family":"Froehle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Kinesiology and Health, Wright State University, Fairborn, OH"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023111614483864900_i1062-6050-58-9-722-b01","unstructured":"Mental health by the numbers.\nNational Alliance on Mental Illness.\nPublished February 2020.
