Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 2017.

In this dissertation, the researcher used a mixed-method approach to explore the health information-seeking behaviors of African American male athletes aged from 18--34 who were not affiliated with a school or a university-sponsored athletic program. The researcher collected data from 12 in-depth, semi-structured participant interviews and from paper surveys completed by African American male athlete members of Purpose Driven Gym. This dissertation provides a more holistic understanding of how African American male athletes access and evaluate health information outside of a higher institution setting and explores the influence of athletic identity, racial identity, and other background characteristics on African American male athletes' health information-seeking behaviors. This research draws attention to the ways that race, gender, educational attainment, and socioeconomic status can create health disparities by impacting information-seeking behaviors. It contributes to the field of library and information studies by enhancing knowledge about the health information-seeking behaviors of African American male athletes. The researcher used descriptive statistics to analyze background characteristics, the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS), the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity (MIBI). The researcher used the data from the twelve interviews to contextualize the health information-seeking behaviors of African American male athletes in south central Wisconsin. The qualitative findings showed that athletic identity had a role in health information-seeking behaviors. The quantitative results indicated that racial identity scores did not play a role in the health information-seeking behaviors among the African American male athletes who participated in this study.
