Popis: To examine changes in United States past-year opioid, stimulant, and benzodiazepine prescription drug misuse (PDM) and poly-PDM by demographics.Data were from the 2015-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N = 282,768), examining annualized PDM change by demographics.Opioid and poly-PDM significantly declined among those under 35 years, White, and multiracial residents.Age and race/ethnicity are important moderators of recent PDM trends, warranting investigation of mechanisms.Results highlight ongoing PDM declines in younger groups but expand the literature by showing limited changes in adults 35 and older and non-opioid PDM.
