Community Sports Programs
Are Community Sports Programs a Viable Investment for Cities and Economies?
Recent years have seen states substantially increase their budgetary allocations to community sports programs, particularly youth programs. This trend is informed by the belief that such programs help to reduce negative vices among the youth and to consequently boost the welfare of adolescents and youth in the state. The following research questions seek to assess the feasibility of community sports programs as platforms for improving the welfare of the youth. They assess the said programs based on their effect on the various indicators of welfare among the youth.
RQ1: How does state budgeting for community youth sporting programs compare with the rates of adolescent drug use and abuse?
This question seeks to measure the effect of state budgeting for sporting activities on drug and substance abuse among adolescents and young people. The amount of state budgeting is the independent variable -- it can be measured in terms of the proportion of the state budget allocated to youth sporting activities, that is one-third of the budget, a quarter of the budget, two-thirds of the budget, and so on. This would make it a quantitative, continuous, ratio variable because...
Moreover, a measure of zero would signify nil budgetary allocation to community youth sports activities (Norman & Streiner, 2008). Adolescent drug use, the dependent variable, on the other hand, could be measured in terms of the reported rates of drug and substance abuse among young people between the ages of 12 and 20 in the state, in which case it would be defined as a quantitative, continuous, ratio variable -- we would collect actual values for the rates of substance abuse in each state and compare them to the state's budgetary allocation. This is a ratio variable because a rate of zero would rightly signify that no adolescents in the given age bracket in the state engage in drug and substance abuse.
RQ2: How does state budgeting for community youth sports programs compare to the rates of adolescent crime?
Just as was the case in the first research question, state budgeting or community sports activities will be the independent variable and adolescent crime the dependent variable. Both variables would still be measured continuous, ratio variables as outlined in RQ1.
RQ3: What is the relationship between the time spent in youth sporting programs, and adolescent…

Viability of Community Sports Programs There has been raging debate on whether or not sports projects are wise municipal investments. Experts have raised concern that although such programs may appear very attractive at face value, they end up delivering very little returns in the long-term owing to the incremental nature of the associated hidden costs. This has prompted researchers to shift from studying the benefits of community sport projects as
