Illicit Methylphenidate Use in an Undergraduate Student Sample: Prevalence and Risk Factors
Open accessAbstract
Study Objectives . To assess the prevalence of illicit methylphenidate use among undergraduate college students at a large university, and to identify alcohol and other drug use behaviors, as well as the negative consequences and risk factors, associated with illicit methylphenidate use. Design . Internet survey. Setting . Large public university Subjects . Thirty‐five hundred randomly selected undergraduate students. Measurements and Main Results . Of the 2250 students who completed the survey, 3% reported past‐year illicit methylphenidate use. Illicit methylphenidate users were significantly more likely to use alcohol and drugs and report adverse alcohol‐ and drug‐related consequences than prescription stimulant users or students who did not use stimulants. Undergraduate men and women were equally likely to report past‐year illicit methylphenidate use. Weekly party behavior was significantly associated with past‐year illicit methylphenidate use. Conclusion . Illicit use of prescription‐only stimulants on college campuses is a potentially serious public health issue. More work is needed to promote understanding and awareness of this problem among clinicians and researchers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
