Abstract

The current study examined the effect that students' educational environment has on the prevalence and motivations associated with the misuse of prescription analgesics (MPA). A sample of 893 undergraduate students was recruited from one religiously affiliated private university and one public university in the Southern United States. Participants completed an in-class survey assessing MPA-related behavior and their associated motivations. Results indicated that students attending the religiously affiliated university displayed lower rates of MPA. Multivariate analyses revealed that a positive drug abuse screening, prescription status, and grade point average are the strongest predictors of past-year MPA for both schools. Some motivations for medical misuse differed significantly between campuses. Implications as to how these differences can inform programs aimed at the reduction of prescription analgesic abuse are discussed.

大学生处方镇痛药滥用的情境因素分析。
本研究考察了学生的教育环境对处方镇痛药滥用的发生率和动机的影响。研究人员从美国南部一所私立大学和一所公立大学招募了893名本科生。参与者完成了一项课堂调查,评估mpa相关行为及其相关动机。结果显示,宗教附属大学学生的MPA发生率较低。多变量分析显示,药物滥用筛查阳性、处方状况和平均成绩是两所学校过去一年MPA的最强预测因子。医疗滥用的一些动机在不同的学校之间差别很大。讨论了这些差异如何影响旨在减少处方镇痛药滥用的方案。
