| Popis: | OBJECTIVE: To identify academic factors pertaining to college students, calendar timing, and particular moments that are uniquely associated with elevated likelihood of prescription stimulant misuse (intentions and actual behavior) in daily life. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were 297 freshmen and sophomores at a large public university in the U.S. in 2017–2019. METHODS: Participants completed survey measures during lab visits and ecological momentary assessment procedures in daily life. Hypotheses were tested using multilevel models that accounted for the nested data and demographic covariates. RESULTS: Student, calendar-based, and momentary academic factors were uniquely associated with stimulant misuse intentions in daily life. Real-time academic events, beyond the proportion of academic events experienced, emerged as a robust predictor of misuse behavior. Within-person links between real-time momentary predictors and misuse behavior were moderated by finals week timing. CONCLUSIONS: Findings offer implications for prevention and intervention strategies for college students at risk for prescription drug misuse. |
