Subtypes of prescription stimulant misuse among students
Research on stimulant misuse among students has been rising. These medicines are generally prescribed to treat ADHD, but they are also used by students to enhance their academic performance. To date, qualitative research on the topic is limited, specifically in understanding the process of misuse, i.e. the motivations embedded in a particular academic and social context driving students’ decision to use. The aim of this research was to develop su…
Personal, Social and Cultural Predictors of Intention to Misuse Prescription Stimulants among Medical Students
Objective The misuse of prescription stimulants among students has been identified as a public health problem. To date, most research has focused on individual-level determinants of stimulant misuse, making research on the socio-cultural context of students’ misuse a priority. This study aims to test the applicability of the Theory of Triadic Influence, capturing three influence streams (personal, social and cultural) and three causational levels…
Substance Use among Belgian Higher Education Students before and during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted many countries to issue far-reaching policy measures that may have led to increased substance use. Higher education students may have been disproportionally affected due to the rearrangement of educational life and their susceptibility to psychosocial distress and substance use. The current study examined associations between pandemic-related stressors, psychosocial distress, and self-reported alcohol, tobacco, and …
Depressive symptoms in higher education students during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. An examination of the association with various social risk factors across multiple high- and middle-inc…
Higher-education students face substantial risks for developing depressive symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic or experiencing exacerbated pre-existing depressive symptoms. This study uses data from the COVID-19 International Student Well-Being Study, which collected data through a non-representative convenience sample in 125 higher-education institutions (HEI) across 26 high- and middle-income countries (N: 20,103) during the first wave of the…
A Social Ecological Approach to Hazardous Alcohol Use among Flemish Higher Education Students
Hazardous use of alcohol is a global public health concern. Statistics suggest that this is particularly common in Europe, and among higher education students. Although it has been established that various factors-ranging from the individual to the overarching societal level-are associated with misuse of alcohol, few studies take multiple levels of influence into account simultaneously. The current study, therefore, used a social ecological frame…
Off-label prescribing of stimulant medication to students
Students' use of prescription stimulants to enhance study performance is increasingly under the spotlight. Medical guidelines discourage general practitioners (GPs) from prescribing stimulants to students without a diagnosis; yet a considerable proportion of students acquire them from GPs. Building on Eisenberg's theoretical framework on clinical decision-making and Conrad's sociological concept of biomedical enhancement, this study examined the …
