racial discrimination socioeconomic position and illicit Drug Use among us blacks
Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, 2016Co-Authors: Hannah Carliner, Deborah S. Hasin, Erin Delker, David S Fink, Katherine M KeyesAbstract:We assessed the relationship of self-reported racial discrimination with illicit Drug Use among US Blacks, and whether this differed by socioeconomic position (SEP). Among 6587 Black participants in Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (2004–2005), we Used multiple logistic regression models to test the association between racial discrimination (measured on the 6-item Experiences of Discrimination scale) and past-year illicit Drug Use, and whether this differed by SEP. Racial discrimination was associated with past-year Drug Use [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.32; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.70, 3.16] and with frequent Drug Use (aOR 1.91; 95 % CI 1.22, 2.99). For frequent illicit Drug Use, this relationship was stronger among higher SEP participants (aOR 3.55; 95 % CI 2.09, 6.02; p interaction < 0.01). The stronger association between racial discrimination and frequent illicit Drug Use among higher SEP Blacks suggests a complex interplay between disadvantaged and privileged statUses that merits further investigation. The finding of a significant difference by SEP highlights the importance of considering differences within heterogeneous race/ethnic groups when investigating health disparities.

changes in the prevalence of non medical prescription Drug Use and Drug Use disorders in the united states 1991 1992 and 2001 2002
Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 2007Co-Authors: Donald Alderson, Elizabeth L. Ogburn, Mark L Hatzenbuehler, Edward V Nunes, Bridget F. Grant, Deborah S. HasinAbstract:Abstract Objective To examine changes in the prevalence of non-medical prescription Drug Use and DSM-IV non-medical prescription abUse and dependence in the United States between 1991–1992 and 2001–2002. Method Comparison of the prevalence of past-year non-medical prescription Drug Use and Drug Use disorders in the total sample and among lifetime non-medical Users in two large national surveys conducted 10 years apart. Results From 1991–1992 to 2001–2002, the prevalence of DSM-IV non-medical prescription Drug Use increased by 53%, from 1.5% to 2.3% (p Conclusions There have been substantial increases in the prevalence of prescription Drug non-medical Use and prescription Drug Use disorders in the United States. Given the clinical utility of prescription Drugs, urgent action is needed to find approaches that balance the need for access to these medications among those who need them, against their potential for abUse and dependence in subgroups of vulnerable individuals.

prevalence correlates and comorbidity of nonmedical prescription Drug Use and Drug Use disorders in the united states results of the national epidemiologic survey on alcohol and related conditions
The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 2006Co-Authors: Boji Huang, Deborah S. Hasin, Deborah A Dawson, Frederick S Stinson, June W Ruan, Tulshi D Saha, Sharon M Smith, Rise B Goldstein, Bridget F. GrantAbstract:Objective To present national data on the prevalence, correlates, and comorbidity of nonmedical prescription Drug Use and Drug Use disorders for sedatives, tranquilizers, opioids, and amphetamines. Method Data were derived from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), a face-to-face nationally representative survey of 43,093 adults conducted during 2001 and 2002. Results Lifetime prevalences of nonmedical Use of sedatives, tranquilizers, opioids, and amphetamines were 4.1%, 3.4%, 4.7%, and 4.7%, respectively. Corresponding rates of abUse and/or dependence on these substances were 1.1%, 1.0%, 1.4%, and 2.0%. The odds of nonmedical prescription Drug Use and Drug Use disorders were generally greater among men, Native Americans, young and middle-aged, those who were widowed/ separated/divorced or never married, and those residing in the West. AbUse/dependence liability was greatest for amphetamines, and nonmedical prescription Drug Use disorders were highly comorbid with other Axis I and II disorders. The majority of individuals with non-medical prescription Drug Use disorders never received treatment. Conclusions Nonmedical prescription Drug Use and disorders are pervasive in the U.S. population and highly comorbid with other psychiatric disorders. Native Americans had significantly greater rates of nonmedical prescription Drug Use and Drug Use disorders, highlighting the need for culturally-sensitive prevention and intervention programs. Unprecedented comorbidity between nonmedical prescription Drug Use disorders and between nonmedical prescription Drug Use disorders and illicit Drug Use disorders suggests that the typical individual abusing or dependent on these Drugs obtained them illegally, rather than through a physician. Amphetamines had the greatest abUse/dependence liability, and recent increases in the potency of illegally manufactured amphetamines may portend an epidemic in the youngest NESARC cohort.

harassment discrimination violence and illicit Drug Use among young men who have sex with men
Aids Education and Prevention, 2010Co-Authors: Caroly F Wong, George Ayala, George Weiss, Michele D KipkeAbstract:We examined the relationship among social discrimination, violence, and illicit Drug Use among an ethnically diverse cohort of young men who have sex with men (YMSM) residing in Los Angeles. Five Hundred twenty-six YMSM (aged 18-24 years) were recruited using a venue-based, stratified probability sampling design. Surveys assessed childhood financial hardship, violence (physical assault, sexual assault, intimate partner violence), social discrimination (homophobia and racism), and illicit Drug Use in the past 3 months. Analyses examined main and interaction effects of key variables on Drug Use. Experiences of financial hardship, physical intimate partner violence and homophobia predicted Drug Use. Although African American participants were less likely to report Drug Use than their Caucasian peers, those who experienced greater sexual racism were at significantly greater risk for Drug Use. Racial/ethnic minority YMSM were at increased risk for experiencing various forms of social discrimination and violence that place them at increased risk for Drug Use. Language: en

nonmedical prescription Drug Use among adolescents the influence of bonds to family and school
Youth & Society, 2009Co-Authors: Jason A. FordAbstract:There has been a tremendous increase in the prevalence of nonmedical prescription Drug Use among adolescents in recent years. Research now indicates that the prevalence of nonmedical prescription Drug Use is greater than the prevalence of other illicit Drug Use, excluding marijuana. Despite these recent trends, there is a dearth of research in the social sciences on this issue. Furthermore, existing research on this topic is largely atheoretical. Using the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a nationally representative survey of persons age 12 and older, the current study examines the impact of social bonds to family and school on nonmedical prescription Drug Use among adolescents. The findings provide support for social control theory. Adolescents with strong bonds to family and school are less likely to report nonmedical prescription Drug Use. Important implications and future research needs are discussed.

pill poppers and dopers a comparison of non medical prescription Drug Use and illicit street Drug Use among college students
Addictive Behaviors, 2008Co-Authors: Jason A. Ford, Meagan C ArrastiaAbstract:Abstract Data from the 2001 College Alcohol Study, a national sample of U.S. college students, were Used to conduct multinomial logistic regression analysis examining correlates of substance Use. Students were divided into three groups based on their lifetime substance Use: non-Users, non-medical prescription Drug Use only, and illicit/street Drug Use only. The purpose of this analytic strategy was to examine the similarities/differences in the correlates of non-medical prescription Drug Use and illicit/street Drug Use. Findings indicate that race, age, G.P.A., sexual activity, health, binge drinking, marijuana Use, social bonding and social learning measures are correlates of non-medical prescription Drug Use. Correlates of illicit/street Drug Use include gender, Hispanic ethnicity, sexual activity, binge drinking, marijuana Use, social bonding and social learning measures. Finally, the focus of the paper is a comparison of students who report only non-medical prescription Drug Use to students who report only illicit/street Drug Use. Findings indicate that gender, race, marital status, sexual activity, marijuana Use, and social bonding measures significantly distinguish illicit/street Drug Use from non-medical prescription Drug Use. Important implications, limitations, and future research needs were discussed.

social learning theory and nonmedical prescription Drug Use among adolescents
Sociological Spectrum, 2008Co-Authors: Jason A. FordAbstract:Adolescent substance Use is an important area of research in sociology; however, there is a lack of research on nonmedical prescription Drug Use. The dearth of research on this topic is problematic given the relatively high prevalence of Use among adolescents, the drastic increase in Use in recent years, and the potential negative consequences from misusing prescription Drugs. Using data from a national sample of adolescents, this research fills an important gap in the literature by testing one of the most prominent theories of deviance: social learning theory. Findings support variables related to social learning theory as correlates of nonmedical prescription Drug Use. Adolescents with definitions that are pro-substance Use, whose peers Use Drugs, and whose parents and peers have attitudes that condone substance Use are more likely to report nonmedical prescription Drug Use in the past year. Important implications and future research directions are discussed.
