INTRODUCTION
Given the high sedative prescription rate, the sedative-associated morbidity, and mortality nationally (especially among veterans), we aimed to test the hypothesis that veteran status in the presence of chronic pain would be associated with greater sedative use when compared with nonveteran status.
METHODS
The study participants were recruited by Community Health Workers (CHWs) through the ongoing community engagement program (HealthStreet) at the University of Florida. CHWs collected information on sociodemographic factors, health status, and past 30-day drug use patterns.
RESULTS
The study sample comprised 4,732 male participants, of which 21% were veterans, 58% were Blacks and 8.4% had used prescription sedatives in the past 30 days. Veterans (vs nonveterans) were twice as likely to have used prescription sedatives in the past 30 days in the presence of chronic pain.
CONCLUSIONS
Veterans with chronic pain are a high-risk population for current prescription sedative use.
引言
鉴于全国范围内镇静剂的高处方率、与镇静剂相关的发病率和死亡率（尤其是在退伍军人中），我们旨在检验以下假设：与非退伍军人相比，患有慢性疼痛的退伍军人使用镇静剂的情况会更多。
方法
研究参与者由社区卫生工作者（CHWs）通过佛罗里达大学正在进行的社区参与项目（健康街）招募。社区卫生工作者收集了社会人口学因素、健康状况和过去30天药物使用模式的信息。
结果
研究样本包括4732名男性参与者，其中21%为退伍军人，58%为黑人，8.4%在过去30天内使用过处方镇静剂。在患有慢性疼痛的情况下，退伍军人（与非退伍军人相比）在过去30天内使用处方镇静剂的可能性是其两倍。
结论
患有慢性疼痛的退伍军人是当前使用处方镇静剂的高危人群。
