DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Adolescent non-medical use of highly addictive prescription opioid drugs, such as Vicodin and Oxycontin; and tranquilizers, such as Valium and Xanax, is increasing. Although the reasons for increasing adolescent non-medical use of addictive prescription drugs are not known, we do know that they are widely advertised and sold over the internet without prescription. The Treatment Research Institute and Drug Strategies have conducted research on internet drug sales for the past four years and we believe that "non-prescription websites (NPWs)" may be one important contributing factor to increasing adolescent use of these drugs. There has been no research on the role of the internet in supplying prescription medications to adolescents without a prescription. This revised RO1 will continue our investigations of the use of internet and other sources for drug purchase by high risk adolescents currently in residential treatment programs. We have a revised 30-minute data collection protocol using well-validated items from the CASI (Meyers et al., 1995 - 2007) that will be administered via a well-tested and engaging web interface (BubbleMonkey) to a purposive sample of 2000 adolescents (12 - 17) from 30 programs in a two-year data collection period. The data collection has been designed to completely protect confidentiality. The study has three primary aims: 1. To determine whether internet purchase is a significant source of drug availability for adolescents with serious substance abuse and addiction problems. We operationally define "significant" as a prevalence rate of 20 percent or higher in this sample. 2. To determine whether internet drug availability is associated with a significant proportion of relapses following efforts to stop drug use. Again, we operationally define "significant as a prevalence rate of 20 percent or higher. 3. To explore whether use of internet websites and other sources, differs as a function of demographic and drug use characteristics among these high-risk adolescents. Information is urgently needed about the relationship between rising rates of adolescent non- medical use of prescription drugs and internet websites that market those drugs without a prescription. This study will be the first to obtain this information directly from adolescents about internet sources of drug supply. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Adolescent non-medical use of highly addictive prescription opioid drugs, such as Vicodin and Oxycontin and tranquilizers such as Valium and Xanax, continues at high levels. These substances are widely advertised and sold over the internet without prescription, perhaps fostering adolescent use. This study will obtain information directly from adolescents about their use of the internet and other sources to obtain drugs.

描述（由申请人提供）：青少年非医学使用高度上瘾的处方阿片类药物，例如vicodin和oxycontin；镇静剂（例如Valium和Xanax）正在增加。尽管尚不清楚增加青少年非医学使用对成瘾的处方药的原因，但我们确实知道它们在没有处方的情况下通过互联网广泛宣传和出售。在过去的四年中，治疗研究所和药物策略对互联网药物销售进行了研究，我们认为“非处方网站（NPW）”可能是增加青少年使用这些药物的重要因素之一。没有关于互联网在没有处方的青少年提供处方药中的作用的研究。经过修订的RO1将继续我们调查使用互联网和其他来源在住宅治疗计划中使用的高风险青少年购买药物的调查。我们使用CASI的验证良好的项目（Meyers等，1995-2007）进行了经过修订的30分钟数据收集协议，该项目将通过经过良好测试且引人入胜的Web界面（BublemblemonKey）来管理2000名青少年的有目的样本（12-17）（12-17）（12-17）。数据收集旨在完全保护机密性。该研究具有三个主要目的：1。确定互联网购买是否是严重滥用药物和成瘾问题的青少年的重要药物可用性来源。在此样本中，我们在操作上将“显着”定义为20％或更高的患病率。 2。确定互联网药物的可用性是否与停止吸毒的努力相关的复发。同样，我们在操作上定义了“显着为20％或更高的普遍性。3。要探索使用互联网网站和其他来源的使用是否会在这些高风险的青少年中的人口统计学和药物使用特征的函数不同，这是由于这些高风险的青少年的函数。信息是在不及时使用这些药物的那些限制的那些药物中，因此需要信息的信息，而这些速度是升高的速率互联网供应源。 公共卫生相关性：青少年非医学使用高度上瘾的处方阿片类药物，例如维科丁和奥羟霉素，以及诸如Valium and Xanax等镇静剂，在高水平上持续。这些物质在没有处方的情况下通过互联网广泛广泛宣传和出售，也许会促进青少年使用。这项研究将直接从青少年获得有关他们使用互联网和其他来源获取药物的信息。
