abstract="In order to study whether participation in sports has a protective impact on suicidal behaviour in students, the data from 11 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys were combined providing a sample size of 152,858 students. The results indicated that sports participation was a protective factor against suicidal behaviour for European-American boys and girls. However, for African-American, Hispanic-American and Asian-American girls, participation in sports might be a risk factor for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. For boys from minority ethnic groups, participation in sports was not associated with suicidal behaviour. © 2015 International Society of Sport Psychology.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
