The current research examines correlates of Ambien misuse among adolescents. Given the recent popularity of prescription drug misuse, the known risks associated with prescription drugs, the fact that Ambien is widely prescribed, and the relative lack of research on prescription sedative misuse, we believe this research is important. The current study fills this important gap in the literature by examining data from the 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, which includes a sample of more than 17,000 adolescents ages 12 to 17 that is generalizable to the non-institutionalized population of the United States. The prevalence of lifetime Ambien misuse in the sample was 1.4%. The current research identified several significant risk factors for Ambien misuse: age, race, income, religiosity, delinquency, depression, social bonding, peer substance use, attitudes toward substance use, strain, and other substance use. Implications and limitations of the current research are discussed.
目前的研究考察了青少年中安必恩滥用的相关因素。鉴于最近处方药物滥用的流行、与处方药物相关的已知风险、安必恩广泛处方的事实，以及相对缺乏关于处方镇静剂滥用的研究，我们认为这项研究很重要。目前的研究通过检查来自 2009 年全国药物使用和健康调查的数据填补了文献中的这一重要空白，该调查包括了一个可推广到美国非制度化人口的样本，样本中有超过 17000 名 12 至 17 岁的青少年。在该样本中，安必恩滥用的终身患病率为 1.4%。目前的研究确定了安必恩滥用的几个重要风险因素：年龄、种族、收入、宗教信仰、犯罪、抑郁、社会联系、同伴物质使用、对物质使用的态度、压力和其他物质使用。目前研究的意义和局限性也进行了讨论。
