Abstract

BACKGROUND Prescription drug (PD) misuse among adolescents constitutes a growing health concern worldwide. This study aimed to provide up-to-date prevalence and correlates of PD misuse (i.e., tranquilizers, opioids and stimulants) among a national representative sample of high-school adolescents in Spain. METHOD We used nationwide data from 36,788 adolescents (51.93% females) aged between 14 and 18 who completed the 2018-2019 Survey on Drug Use in Secondary Education in Spain (ESTUDES). Lifetime misuse of the following PD was assessed: tranquilizers without prescription, opioids to get high, and prescription stimulants to improve academic performance. Other substance use, sociodemographic characteristics, academic performance related variables, and the quality of parental relationship were assessed. RESULTS Lifetime prevalence of PD misuse was 8.50% for tranquilizers, 2.34% for stimulants, and 2.20% for opioids. Past-month tobacco use and lifetime illegal substance use were the only correlates associated with all PD categories (ORs between 1.419 and 6.788). The remaining sociodemographic, academic and family correlates were PD category-specific. CONCLUSIONS This information may help in the development of empirically-based preventive interventions.

西班牙青少年处方药滥用的患病率及其相关性。

背景:青少年滥用处方药已成为世界范围内日益严重的健康问题。本研究旨在提供最新流行和PD滥用的相关因素(即镇静剂，阿片类药物和兴奋剂)在西班牙高中青少年的全国代表性样本。方法我们使用了西班牙2018-2019年中等教育药物使用调查(ESTUDES)中完成的全国范围内36,788名14至18岁青少年(51.93%为女性)的数据。评估了以下PD的终生滥用情况:无处方镇静剂，阿片类药物以获得快感，处方兴奋剂以提高学习成绩。其他物质使用、社会人口学特征、学习成绩相关变量和父母关系的质量进行了评估。结果镇定剂、兴奋剂和阿片类药物的终身误用率分别为8.50%、2.34%和2.20%。过去一个月的烟草使用和终生的非法药物使用是与所有PD类别相关的唯一因素(or在1.419和6.788之间)。其余的社会人口学、学术和家庭相关因素是PD特定类别的。结论这些信息有助于制定基于经验的预防干预措施。
