Prescription Medication Abuse Nearly Equals Alcohol Abuse Among Unemployed During COVID-19 Pandemic
Forty Percent of Symptomatic Prescription Drug Abusers Fall Into Moderate or High -Risk Addiction Profiles
The misuse of prescription medications is defined either in the form of taking medications not prescribed to a person or taking medications more frequently than prescribed. Richard E. Hunter, Ph.D., the study’s primary author noted, “The prevalence of prescription medication abusers is similar to the number of symptomatic alcohol abusers, yet these respondents reflected a somewhat lower proportion of moderate and high-risk profiles.”
Further, the results of the study offer preliminary insights into substance abuse patterns across two and even all three of the substance abuse categories.
