Performing Arts Health performing artists dance music theater substance use drug abuse alcoholism Context: Substance use patterns include the use, abuse, and dependence of drugs and alcohol. The quantification of substance use patterns of performing artists has been left mostly to anecdotal evidence and autobiographies. As this topic has been explored in sport since the 1920s or earlier, performing artists have developed a culture of performance without the same rules and regulations to which athletes must adhere. Objective: To quantify the substance use patterns of use and abuse in the performing artist population. Additional information concerning injury and performance were collected in relation to substance use patterns. Setting: Online via a web-based survey using Qualtrics™. Participants: Dancers, musicians, and acting undergraduate and graduate students over the age of 18 attending a mid-sized midwestern university. Intervention: Approximately 411 participants were recruited via email by their department heads to voluntarily participate. The survey included demographic questions, two pre-validated surveys that screened for alcoholism and drug abuse, and a series of original questions concerning their substance use patterns. Main Outcome Measures: Description of the prevalence of substance use and abuse patterns in collegiate performing artists in a mid-sized midwestern university. 2014 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1408643234 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1408643234 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
