To examine changes in United States past-year opioid, stimulant, and benzodiazepine prescription drug misuse (PDM) and poly-PDM by demographics.
Data were from the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N = 282,768), examining annualized PDM change by demographics.
Opioid and poly-PDM significantly declined among those under 35 years, White, and multiracial residents.
Age and race/ethnicity are important moderators of recent PDM trends, warranting investigation of mechanisms.
Results highlight ongoing PDM declines in younger groups but expand the literature by showing limited changes in adults 35 and older and non-opioid PDM.
研究美国过去一年阿片类药物、兴奋剂和苯二氮䓬类处方药物滥用(PDM)和多药滥用(poly-PDM)随人口统计学特征的变化。
数据来自 2015-2019 年全国药物使用与健康调查(N=282768),通过人口统计学特征研究了年度 PDM 变化情况。
在 35 岁以下、白人以及多种族居民中,阿片类药物和多药滥用显著下降。
年龄和种族/民族是近期 PDM 趋势的重要调节因素,需要对这些机制进行调查。
结果突出了年轻群体中持续下降的 PDM,但通过显示 35 岁及以上成年人和非阿片类药物 PDM 变化有限,扩展了相关文献。
