Did You Know? ...
Interesting Facts and Statistics:
The medical causes of drug abuse are not yet completely understood. Researchers can only report that the repeated use of addictive drugs can bring about dramatic changes in both the structure and the function of the brain; this process can then result in compulsive drug use.
Adderall, an amphetamine mixture, is used by some college and high-school students as a study and test-taking aid.
As of 2000, African Americans show considerably lower rates of Ecstasy use than do either whites or Hispanics.
As in prior years, men were more likely to report current illegal drug use than women (8.7 vs. 5.5 percent) in 2001. However, rates of nonmedical psychotherapeutics use were similar for boys (2.2 percent) and girls (2.0 percent), consistent with previous findings for these drugs.
In 2008, past month use of illegal drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol (including binge alcohol) was lower among teens aged 12 to 17 who reported that their parents always or sometimes engaged in monitoring behaviors than among teens whose parents "seldom" or "never" engaged in such behaviors. For example, the rate of past month use of any illegal drug was 7.7 percent for teens whose parents always or sometimes helped with homework compared with 15.6 percent among teens who indicated that their parents seldom or never helped. Rates of current cigarette smoking and past month binge alcohol use were also lower among teens whose parents always or sometimes helped with homework (7.7 and 7.3 percent, respectively) than among teens whose parents did not (15.3 and 15.9 percent, respectively).
Among the 24.3 million adults with SPD in 2007, 10.8 million (44.6 percent) used mental health services in the past year. Among all adults with SPD, 38.8 percent received a prescription medication, 27.3 percent received outpatient services, and 5.1 percent received inpatient services for a mental health problem in the past year.
