This study assessed undergraduate unhealthy substance use, levels of knowledge about opioid pharmacology, unhealthy use and safety, and students' perceptions about their level of knowledge.
Participants were undergraduate students at a large, private university in the Northeast.
This study employed a cross-sectional study design using an online survey. A convenience sample of undergraduate students (N = 317) described their actual and perceived levels of opioid knowledge and their self-reported substance use.
Objective answers to quiz-style questions about opioids showed knowledge deficits. Participants rated themselves as slightly less knowledgeable than the "average student." Ten percent of students surveyed had used opioids unhealthily at some point in their lifetime. Those reporting unhealthy opioid use had higher subjective and objective opioid knowledge scores.
University students' subjective and objective knowledge of opioids warrants more effective and engaging substance use education on college campuses.
本研究评估了本科生使用不健康物质的情况、对阿片类药物药理学的了解程度、不健康使用及安全性，以及学生对自身知识水平的认知。
参与者为东北部一所大型私立大学的本科生。
本研究采用横断面研究设计，通过在线调查进行。选取了一个本科生便利样本（N = 317），描述他们对阿片类药物知识的实际和认知水平以及自我报告的物质使用情况。
关于阿片类药物的问答式问题的客观答案显示出知识欠缺。参与者给自己的评分比“普通学生”略低。接受调查的学生中有10%在其一生中的某个时候曾有过不健康使用阿片类药物的情况。那些报告有不健康阿片类药物使用情况的学生在主观和客观阿片类药物知识得分上更高。
大学生对阿片类药物的主观和客观知识需要在大学校园开展更有效且更具吸引力的物质使用教育。
