这项研究确定了这种流行率。相互关联。以及与本科生非法使用处方止痛药有关的来源。一种横截面。这项基于网络的调查是由美国中西部一所大型大学的9.161名本科生自己随机抽样进行的。尽管本科生女性更多。男性可能被开了止痛药，他们更有可能被要求转移处方止痛药，并报告非法使用处方止痛药。多变量分析表明，在过去一年中，曾开过止痛药的本科生中非法使用处方止痛药的比例更高。住在房子或公寓里的。并获得较低的平均成绩点。大多数学生从同伴那里获得了非法使用的处方止痛药，第二大来源是家庭成员。非法使用处方止痛药的风险因素和来源有几个性别差异。根据定性，非法使用包括以醉酒为目的的娱乐使用和用于疼痛发作的自我药物治疗。非法用户。从同龄人那里获得处方止痛药的人报告的其他物质使用率显著高于从家人那里获得处方药的人。这些发现表明，非法使用处方止痛药可能是本科生中的一个问题，需要考虑到性别差异的有效预防措施。(C)2004爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study identifies the prevalence. correlates. and sources associated with the illicit use of prescription pain medication among undergraduate college students. A cross-sectional. web-based survey was self-administered by a large random sample of 9.161 undergraduate students attending a large Midwestern university in the United States. Although undergraduate women were more. likely to be prescribed pain medication, men were more likely to be approached to divert their prescription pain medication and report illicit use of prescription pain medication. Multivariate analyses indicated past year illicit use of prescription pain medication was higher among undergraduate students who were previously prescribed pain medication. living in a house or apartment. and earning lower grade point averages. The majority of students obtained prescription pain medication for illicit use from peers and the second leading source was family members. There were several gender differences in the risk factors and sources of illicit use of prescription pain medication. Based on qualitative dam illicit use included recreational use for the purposes of intoxication and self-medication for pain episodes. Illicit users. who obtained prescription pain medication from peers, reported significantly higher rates of other substance use while those who obtained prescription medications from family members did not. These findings suggest that the illicit use of prescription pain medications may represent a problem among undergraduate students and effective prevention efforts are needed that account for gender differences.
