Contribution of Frequency and Structured Leisure Activities Features to the Adolescents' Binge Drinking Experiences
Research has shown that leisure time can be an important context for positive adolescent development, but it can also be a context that leads them to engage in risk behaviours. Based on this premise, the Laboratory for Prevention Research (ERF UNIZG, Croatia) conducted a project entitled "Quality of Leisure Time as a Protective Factor for the Development of Behavioural Problems" to investigate the influence of structured leisure activities (SLA) on adolescents' risk behaviours. The purpose of this paper is to examine how structured leisure activities (SLA) may contribute to binge drinking from adolescents' perspectives. Participants were 14-21 years old (M = 18.87, SD = 1.23) and 44.8% of participants were female. Poisson regression analyses were conducted. The data suggest a high prevalence of binge drinking among adolescents who participated in SLA. That is, 40.3% of adolescents had at least one BD experience or more, and 23.2% of adolescents who participated in SLA had two or more experiences of consuming five or more alcoholic beverages in a row in the past two weeks. Results indicated that more strongly identified motivated adolescents for participation in SLA and who valued that their participation in SLA contributed more to the development of initiative experiences were less likely to have BD experiences. On the other hand, those who were externally motivated to participate in SLA and who estimated that their participation in SLA contributed more to the development of positive relationship experiences and negative experiences were more likely to have BD experiences. The findings suggest that motivation, context, and developmental experiences must be considered when creating SLA if SLA is to be viewed and recognised as an important context for preventing risk behaviours in youth.
