Little is known about prescription medication abuse by rural youth. We surveyed 849 rural high school students and found that 34% reported lifetime nonmedical use of prescription medication higher than the 12% reported nationally. Boys and marijuana users had higher odds of nonmedical use of prescription medication than did girls or marijuana nonusers (odds ratio 1.9 and 3.8, respectively).
关于农村青少年滥用处方药的情况，人们知之甚少。我们对849名农村高中生进行了调查，发现34%的人报告称曾有过非医疗目的使用处方药的经历，这一比例高于全国报告的12%。与女孩或不使用大麻的人相比，男孩及使用大麻的人非医疗目的使用处方药的几率更高（优势比分别为1.9和3.8）。
