The misuse of prescription stimulants among college undergraduates is a prevalent and dangerous problem on college campuses across the United States. Guided by a memorable messages framework, this research sought to examine the messages that college students recall about the misuse of prescription stimulants and examine how those messages are associated with students' intention to use stimulants. We analyzed the recalled memorable messages of 129 undergraduates. Three predominant themes emerged from the analysis: academic implications, health implications, and ethical implications. Theme, source, and valence of the memorable messages were not associated with behavioral intention to engage in the misuse of prescription stimulants. These findings contribute to the scholarly and practical understanding of undergraduates' experiences with illicit behaviors, and demonstrate a need to further investigate students' sense-making in relation to risky decisions made during their college experience.
在美国，大学生滥用处方兴奋剂是一个普遍且危险的问题，存在于全国各地的大学校园之中。本研究以一则令人难忘的信息框架为指导，旨在探讨大学生回忆起的与处方兴奋剂滥用相关的信息，并研究这些信息与学生使用兴奋剂的意愿之间的关联。我们分析了 129 名本科生回忆起的难忘信息。分析结果呈现出三个主要主题：学术影响、健康影响和道德影响。难忘信息的主题、来源和情感色彩与使用处方兴奋剂的不当行为的意愿无关。这些发现有助于深入了解大学生在涉及非法行为时的经验，同时也表明需要进一步研究学生在大学经历中做出冒险决策时的意义建构。
