Prescription Stimulant Misuse and Risk Correlates among Racially-Diverse Urban Adolescents.

Results highlight potential targets for identification of emerging prescription stimulant misuse risk profiles at earlier stages of development. Longitudinal replication is needed to examine directional associations and risk mechanisms underlying adolescent prescription stimulant misuse. PMID: 32749179 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
