Prevalence and correlates of co-ingestion of prescription tranquilizers and other psychoactive substances by US high school seniors: Results from a national survey

摘要

Introduction: Nonmedical tranquilizer use (NMTU) is a concerning and understudied phenomenon in adolescents, despite being the second most prevalent form of nonmedical use in this population. Thus, this work aimed to examine the sociodemographic and substance use correlates of past-year co-ingestion of a prescription tranquilizer and another substance among adolescents.
