Adderall是大学生中最常滥用的处方兴奋剂。社交媒体为监测公共卫生提供了一个实时途径，特别是针对这一人群。这项研究探讨了Twitter上Adderall的讨论，以确定大学考试期间的音量变化，不同学院和大学之间的差异，以及常见的副作用和共同摄入的物质。2011年11月至2012年5月，对含有“Adderall”一词的面向公众的Twitter状态消息进行了监测。研究人员检查了推文中提到的副作用和其他常见滥用物质。包含GPS数据的可能学生的推文与附近学院和大学的集群进行了区域比较。来自132,099个独立用户账户的213,633条推文提到了“Adderall”。Adderall推文的数量在传统的学院和大学期末考试期间达到顶峰。Adderall的使用率在美国东北部和南部地区的学院和大学集群中最高。27，473（12.9%）在同一条推文中提到了其他动机（例如，学习援助）。Adderall最常见的物质是酒精（4.8%）和兴奋剂（4.7%），最常见的副作用是睡眠剥夺（5.0%）和食欲不振（2.6%）。Twitter帖子证实了Adderall在大学生中作为学习辅助的使用。通过Twitter等社交媒体进行的Adderall讨论可能有助于规范有关其滥用的行为。
Adderall is the most commonly abused prescription stimulant among college students. Social media provides a real-time avenue for monitoring public health, specifically for this population. This study explores discussion of Adderall on Twitter to identify variations in volume around college exam periods, differences across sets of colleges and universities, and commonly mentioned side effects and co-ingested substances. Public-facing Twitter status messages containing the term “Adderall” were monitored from November 2011 to May 2012. Tweets were examined for mention of side effects and other commonly abused substances. Tweets from likely students containing GPS data were identified with clusters of nearby colleges and universities for regional comparison. 213,633 tweets from 132,099 unique user accounts mentioned “Adderall.” The number of Adderall tweets peaked during traditional college and university final exam periods. Rates of Adderall tweeters were highest among college and university clusters in the northeast and south regions of the United States. 27,473 (12.9%) mentioned an alternative motive (eg, study aid) in the same tweet. The most common substances mentioned with Adderall were alcohol (4.8%) and stimulants (4.7%), and the most common side effects were sleep deprivation (5.0%) and loss of appetite (2.6%). Twitter posts confirm the use of Adderall as a study aid among college students. Adderall discussions through social media such as Twitter may contribute to normative behavior regarding its abuse.
