Past-Year Nonmedical Use of Prescription Drugs among Women on Probation and Parole: A Cross-Sectional Study

Martin T. Hall, PhD, MSSW; Diana Ball, MSW; Jeanelle Sears, MSW, MSc; George E. Higgins, PhD, MPA; T K Logan, PhD; & Seana Golder, PhD, MSW

Substance Abuse Vol. 39, Iss. 3, 2018

“Past 12-month nonmedical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) was common among this sample of victimized women on probation and parole. Other substance use, pain, and trauma symptoms were strongly associated with past-year NMUPD. Interventions that improve access to physical and behavioral health services are needed, as are trauma-informed treatments and correctional care.”
