Differences in Prescription Stimulant Misuse Motives Across Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States.

CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive enhancement with PSM occurs more often in young adults compared to adolescents, college students endorse more cognitive enhancement than those not in school, and the presence of any PSM in AYAs is linked to more substance use, suicidal ideation, and other psychopathology. PSM prevention in adolescents as well as screening and intervention among AYA is highly recommended. PMID: 33147656 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
