Abstract
Among U.S. adults aged 18 to 64 who reported using prescription stimulant medications, around one-quarter reported stimulant misuse and 9% reported stimulant use disorder, according to a new study. Stimulant misuse and stimulant use disorder were substantially more common among individuals using amphetamines than among those using methylphenidate.
