Prevalence of pharmacotherapy for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and prescription stimulant misuse: A national study of US college students
Addiction
This is an observational study using cross-sectional data from the American College Health Association–National College Health Assessment III. It measured the association between university-level prevalence of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication treatment and prevalence of prescription stimulant misuse (PSM) among college students. Among university students in the United States, there appears to be a positive association between attending universities with a greater prevalence of ADHD medication treatment and risk of prescription stimulant misuse (PSM). This study provides further support for the possibility that ADHD medication treatment prevalence is a risk factor for PSM.
