Abstract

A survey of high school students (n = 39,345) found 4.7% occasionally misuse over-the-counter drugs (i.e., to get high) and an additional 2.1% reported misuse during the past month. Misuse was more common among older white and Native American youths and was associated with depressive affect and other substance use, especially alcohol and illicit drugs.
