We assessed the nonmedical use of prescription opioids (NMUPO) among adolescents who participate in competitive sports. Using data from Monitoring the Future, we found that adolescent participants in high-injury sports had 50% higher odds of NMUPO than adolescents who did not participate in these types of sports (i.e., nonparticipants and participants in other sports). Detecting certain subpopulations of youths at risk for NMUPO should be a central concern among health care providers.
我们评估了参与竞技运动的青少年中处方类阿片的非医疗使用(NMUPO)情况。利用来自“监测未来”的数据,我们发现,与不参加高受伤风险运动的青少年相比(即不参与者和其他运动项目参与者),参加此类运动的青少年 NMUPO 的可能性高出 50%。在医疗保健提供者中,检测存在 NMUPO 风险的某些特定青年亚群应成为关注的重点。
