作者在随机抽样的本科生中调查了4种不同类别的可滥用处方药（安眠药、镇静或焦虑药、兴奋剂和止痛药）的医疗使用、非法使用和转移。2003年春，9,161名就读于美国中西部一所大型公立研究型大学的本科生参加了一项基于网络的调查。在过去一年中，止痛药的非法使用流行率最高，其次是兴奋剂、镇静剂或焦虑药和安眠药。妇女普遍报告去年的医疗使用率较高。然而，本科生男性报告的非法使用率较高。兴奋剂药物的非法使用-医疗使用比率在4类处方药中最高。使用兴奋剂治疗注意缺陷多动障碍的医疗使用者最有可能被要求转移他们的药物。多变量的结果表明，处方药的非法使用者更有可能使用其他药物比谁不使用处方药的学生生病。作者提供的证据表明，处方药滥用是一个问题，在大学生。
The authors investigated the medical use, illicit use, and diversion of 4 distinct classes of abusable prescription medication (sleeping medication, sedative or anxiety medication, stimulant medication, and pain medication) in a random sample of undergraduate students. In spring 2003, 9,161 undergraduate students attending a large, public, midwestern research university in the United States self-a ministered a Web-based survey. The prevalence rate for illicit use within the past year was highest for pain medication, followed by stimulant medication, sedative or anxiety medication, and sleeping medication. Women generally reported higher past-year medical use rates. However, undergraduate men reported higher illicit use rates. The illicit use-medical use ratio for stimulant medication was the highest among the 4 classes of prescription drugs. Medical users of stimulants for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were the most likely to be approached to divert their medication. Multivariate results indicated that illicit users of prescription drugs were more likely to use other drugs than were students who did not use prescription drugs illicitly. The authors provide evidence that prescription drug abuse is a problem among college students.
