L’objectif
This study provides more recent evidence on prescription opioid misuse among Black Americans.
Constatations/points à retenir
The prevalence rate of past-year prescription opioid misuse was very similar among Black (3.4%) and White respondents (3.8%). Adjusted multivariate logistic regression analyses found no significant racial differences in prescription opioid misuse. Religious importance and rurality were negatively associated with misuse only among Black respondents. Depressive episodes, other drug use, age, and risk-taking behaviors were associated with prescription opioid misuse among both Black and White respondents.
