Previous research has documented an association between sexual victimization and prescription medication use among adults. The purpose of this study was to determine whether such a relationship was present for adolescent girls when considering sexual victimization by a peer and the use of four drug classes for medical and nonmedical reasons. The study was based on a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional Web-based, self-administered survey of female students from a middle and high school (n = 490). As predicted, sexual victimization increased the likelihood of non-medical prescription medication use of opioid analgesics and sedative medication, although these relationships varied based on the severity of sexual assault. Findings are discussed in light the importance of increasing awareness among health professionals, researchers, and the wider community of the increased risk for prescription medication abuse among adolescent girls who have a history of sexual violence.
先前的研究已证明成年人中性侵害与处方药使用之间存在关联。本研究的目的是确定在考虑同伴性侵害以及出于医疗和非医疗原因使用四类药物时，青春期女孩中是否存在这种关系。该研究基于对一所初中和高中的女学生进行的基于网络的横断面自填式调查（n = 490）的二次分析。正如所预测的那样，性侵害增加了非医疗用途使用阿片类镇痛药和镇静药物的可能性，尽管这些关系因性侵犯的严重程度而异。鉴于提高健康专业人员、研究人员和更广泛社区对有性暴力史的青春期女孩滥用处方药风险增加的认识的重要性，对研究结果进行了讨论。
