- W3032276278 abstract "This study is a mixed-methods investigation into the non-medical use ofprescription stimulants for the purpose of staying awake among students atMemorial University of Newfoundland. The quantitative part of the study involveda comprehensive online survey, which asked for information regardingdemographic characteristics and substance use, and included standardized measuresof sleep, mental health and attitudes towards non-medical use of prescription drugs.A total of 3,699 participants were recruited and the clean, complete data for 3,160participants was used for the analysis. The prevalence of non-medical use ofprescription stimulants for the purpose of staying awake was 3.1%. The factorsassociated with such use were alcohol, tobacco and nicotine vapour use, poor sleepquality, daytime sleepiness, and more liberal attitudes towards the non-medical useof prescription drugs. The factors associated with these more liberal attitudesinclude male gender, non-White ethnicity, international student status, alcohol,tobacco, and nicotine use, depressive symptoms and clinical level of anxietysymptoms. Factors associated with less liberal attitudes were part-time study andborderline level of anxiety symptoms.In order to provide more insight into why students use prescriptionstimulants for staying awake, ten semi-structured interviews were conducted.Participants reported obtaining the stimulants from friends who had prescriptionsfor ADHD, and stated that they were using them to stay awake longer in order tostudy, indicating that the underlying motive for misuse was academic stress.Participants recognized that such use could impact sleep and reported usingexercise and meditation as alternatives to stimulant use, but admitted thatstimulants were much more effective in the short-term. Anyprevention/intervention programs should involve promoting sleep hygiene andacademic skills, as well as highlighting the negative effects of non-medicalprescription stimulant use. These programs should be aimed at the aforementionedgroups of students who are at most risk of engaging in such use." @default.
