本文调查了与药物化过程和“药物转移”实践（即处方药的非法交换和非医疗使用）相关的日常经验和经验。它报告了一项定性研究的结果，该研究旨在研究美国大学校园中学生使用非医疗处方兴奋剂的日常维度，其中涉及38个半结构化访谈，这些访谈涉及使用处方兴奋剂作为提高学习成绩的手段的个人。虽然对毒品转移的讨论通常是从广泛的人口水平模式和人口趋势的角度来进行的，但本分析提供了一种适合当地和日常现象的补充社会文化视角。报告的结果涉及非医疗用途药品供应的采购。提供了一个分析，确定了四个不同的来源（朋友;家庭成员;黑市供应商;受骗的临床医生），并描述了特定的一套的理解，做法和经验，出现在每一个不同的来源。研究结果表明，在日常经验和实践的水平，处方兴奋剂转移的现象的特点是一个显着程度的复杂性和异质性。报告了大学生使用非医疗兴奋剂的原始研究。从日常使用者的角度探讨药物转移的机制。提供关于当地非法药品市场组织的经验性见解。进一步理解“药物化”的日常维度。
This article investigates everyday experiences and practises that are associated with processes of pharmaceuticalization and with practices of ‘drug diversion’—that is, the illicit exchange and non-medical use of prescription drugs. It reports results from a qualitative study that was designed to examine the everyday dimensions of non-medical prescription stimulant use among students on an American university campus, which involved 38 semi-structured interviews with individuals who used prescription stimulants as a means of improving academic performance. While discussions of drug diversion are often framed in terms of broad, population-level patterns and demographic trends, the present analysis provides a complementary sociocultural perspective that is attuned to the local and everyday phenomena. Results are reported in relation to the acquisition of supplies of medications intended for nonmedical use. An analysis is provided which identifies four different sources of diverted medications (friends; family members; black-market vendors; deceived clinicians), and describes particular sets of understandings, practices and experiences that arise in relation to each different source. Findings suggest that at the level of everyday experience and practice, the phenomenon of prescription stimulant diversion is characterised by a significant degree of complexity and heterogeneity. Reports original research on non-medical stimulant use among university students. Explores mechanisms of drug diversion from the perspective of everyday users. Offers empirical insight on local organisation of illicit pharmaceutical markets. Furthers understandings of everyday dimensions of ‘pharmaceuticalization’.
