The purpose of the current study was to increase qualitative understanding of student motives for and consequences associated with nonmedical use of prescription drugs.
Sixty-one students participated in eight focus groups between April and November 2013.
Students described prescription drugs commonly used for nonmedical reasons, as well as the motives for and consequences associated with their use. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Students reported stimulants as the most commonly used prescription drug for nonmedical reasons, least expensive, and easiest to obtain on campus, followed by benzodiazepines. Opioids were less commonly used, more expensive, and difficult to acquire. Motives and consequences varied by prescription drug class.
Our qualitative findings extend previous research by suggesting differences in students' perceived motives for using and consequences associated with the different classes of prescription drugs. These findings provide implications for the development of preventive interventions.
本研究旨在加深对学生非医疗用途使用处方药的动机及后果的质性理解。
2013年4月至11月期间，61名学生参与了8个焦点小组。
学生描述了常用于非医疗目的的处方药，以及使用这些药物的动机和后果。采用主题内容分析法对数据进行分析。
学生报告称，兴奋剂是最常用于非医疗目的的处方药，价格最便宜且在校园内最容易获得，其次是苯二氮䓬类药物。阿片类药物使用较少，价格更高且难以获取。动机和后果因处方药类别而异。
我们的质性研究结果拓展了先前的研究，表明学生对不同类别处方药的使用动机和后果的认知存在差异。这些发现为预防性干预措施的制定提供了启示。
