Neighborhood Context As A Barrier To Sport Participation For Girls : Evidence From A Sports Diversity Index
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests neighborhood contexts play a vital role in shaping availability and diversity of youth sports and participation rates; especially for African American/Black girls. Currently, there is no index capturing interscholastic sport opportunities(diversity) within and across school districts and specifically applied to African American/Black girls.
OBJECTIVE: To present a new multidimensional index of sport opportunities within the St. Louis, (Missouri) City and County school districts and examine its usefulness in describing sports participation among African American/Black girls.
METHOD: We assessed the sports diversity for girls in St. Louis City and County school districts (n=47) by constructing a sports diversity index (SDI) for girls which uses an entropy index as its foundation. Census-tract data was used to examine the association with neighborhood demographics and contributors to school district income and sports diversity. Descriptive spatial statistics are used to examine distributions in St. Louis City and County, with bivariate local indicator of spatial autocorrelation (BiLISA) used to determine any correlation between variables of interest.
RESULTS: The St. Louis City school district, which has areas of high poverty rates, high renter occupied housing and a high percentage of non-Hispanic Black students, had the lowest SDI for girls; contrasted with the districts in the County. Whereas on average districts in the county showed an inverse pattern. The SDI for girls showed significant correlation with percent renter-occupied housing and poverty. The SDI for girls was also correlated with race, where increasing presence of non-Hispanic Black population was associated with decreased sports diversity for girls.
CONCLUSIONS: The SDI for girls shows significant spatial association with neighborhood level determinants with sport opportunity availability for non-Hispanic Black girls in St. Louis. Athletic training research, policy, and practice should consider the role of social and political determinants of health in shaping community context and resultant health.
