Recent Research: Why Teens Use?
• Teens admit to misusing Rx drugs for reasons other than getting high, including to relieve pain or anxiety, to sleep better, just to experiment, to help with concentration or to increase alertness. (Boyd, McCabe, Cranford & young, 2006).
• More than 1/3 of teens say they feel pressure to abuse Rx drugs and say using these drugs is an important part of fitting in with their friends. (Seventeen, 2006).
• When teens abuse Rx drugs, they often characterize their use as “safe” (Friedman, 2006).
