Trends in cocaine use among United States females of reproductive age, 2005-2019

CONCLUSIONS: Although the prevalence of cocaine use remains scarce among US females, the uptake in use after a period of initial decline is concerning, highlighting the need for continued public health awareness and action.SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Cocaine use among females of reproductive age is particularly concerning given the increased likelihood of transitioning to disordered use and the risk of use during pregnancy. Previous studies have not reported cocaine use estimates specific to reproductive age females or only reported co-drug use patterns, without detail of specific cocaine use trends.PMID:37924245 | DOI:10.1111/ajad.13502
