本文总结了最近关于处方兴奋剂非医疗使用的研究结果，并概述了应对大学生这一独特问题的多管齐下的战略方法。学生、卫生专业人员、家长、制药行业和高等教育机构都在这一反应中发挥了作用。此外，学术界应将研究成果的翻译视为一项重要的责任，有助于消除媒体中经常存在的神话。处方兴奋剂的非医疗使用是一种复杂的行为，应该在年轻人酗酒和吸毒的大背景下看待。减少处方兴奋剂非医疗使用的战略可能直接适用于滥用其他处方药，包括阿片类药物。
This article summarizes recent research findings on nonmedical use of prescription stimulants and outlines a multi-pronged strategic approach for responding to this unique problem among college students. Students, health professionals, parents, the pharmaceutical industry, and institutions of higher education all play roles in this response. Moreover, the academic community should view the translation of research findings as an important responsibility that can help dispel the myths often perpetuated in the media. The nonmedical use of prescription stimulants is a complex behavior and should be viewed in the larger context of alcohol and drug involvement among young adults. Strategies to reduce nonmedical use of prescription stimulants might have direct application to the abuse of other prescription drugs, including opiates.
