Abstract

Abstract To determine how parents dispose of unused prescription medications and correlates of disposal, we recruited 3,043 parents of adolescents to complete a survey. Multivariate and multinomial logistic regression was conducted to examine correlates of disposal of prescription medication. Only 17.8% of parents in a household prescribed a controlled medication in the past year disposed of unused medications. Of those, 36.7% used organized disposal (e.g., take-back event or drop box) and 63.3% disposed of medications at home. Organized disposal was associated with awareness of disposal opportunities. Increasing awareness of organized disposal opportunities is a promising mechanism to increase their use by parents.

中学生家长对处方药的处理

为了确定父母如何处置未使用的处方药及其处置的相关因素，我们招募了3043名青少年父母完成一项调查。采用多变量和多项逻辑回归分析处方药物处置的相关因素。在过去的一年中，只有17.8%的家庭父母使用了管制药物，处理了未使用的药物。其中，36.7%的人使用有组织的处理方法(例如，回收事件或投递箱)，63.3%的人在家中处理药物。有组织的处置与对处置机会的认识有关。提高对有组织处置机会的认识是一种有希望的机制，可以增加父母对它们的使用。
