This study was aimed at studying the non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) among individuals with prescriptions for anxiolytics, sedatives, or strong analgesics. We examined the association of socio-demographics, binge drinking, the number of drug prescriptions, and drug types prescribed for medical purposes with NMUPD among the general Finnish population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were derived from population-based (ages 15\u201369 years) Drug Surveys conducted in Finland in 2006, 2010, and 2014. The response rates varied between 48% and 55%. Individuals with prescriptions for one or more prescription drugs in the last 12 months were included ( n = 1,602) and divided into three groups: medical use only, NMUPD, and NMUPD with illicit drug use (ILLICIT USE). Multinomial logistic regression was used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among individuals with a prescription for at least one prescription drug, 5.7% reported NMUPD. Living alone and being outside the labour force were associated with NMUPD. Younger age, living in a large city, living alone, and unemployment were associated with ILLICIT USE. Frequent binge drinking and a high number of drug prescriptions were associated with both NMUPD and ILLICIT USE. Those reporting ILLICIT USE were more likely to have a prescription for sedatives.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although NMUPD is on a rather low level among those who have a prescription for legitimate purposes, having multiple prescriptions increased the likelihood of NMUPD. Low socio-economic position and binge drinking are associated with NMUPD and this should be taken into account when planning interventions and preventive actions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/14550725211003417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]],"date-time":"2021-04-22T03:01:51Z","timestamp":1619060511000},"page":"50-63","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Factors associated with non-medical use of prescription drugs among individuals with a legitimate prescription for medical purposes: A population-based study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4685-6835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Minna","family":"Pylv\u00e4s-Korolainen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karoliina","family":"Karjalainen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3455-2439","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomi","family":"Lintonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Finnish Foundation for Alcohol Studies, Helsinki, Finland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajad.12184"},{"key":"bibr2-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10826084.2014.962047"},{"key":"bibr3-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-019-6933-8"},{"key":"bibr4-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"bibr5-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1874473710801030255"},{"key":"bibr6-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2007.04.009"},{"key":"bibr7-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sapharm.2018.04.005"},{"key":"bibr8-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.18m12174"},{"key":"bibr9-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychires.2012.08.019"},{"key":"bibr10-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/add.15071"},{"key":"bibr11-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2019.01.014"},{"key":"bibr12-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.drugalcdep.2017.10.023"},{"key":"bibr13-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/adb0000026"},{"key":"bibr14-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.annemergmed.2019.04.019"},{"key":"bibr15-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1526-4637.2006.00200.x"},{"key":"bibr16-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10826084.2014.880723"},{"key":"bibr17-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajad.12866"},{"key":"bibr18-14550725211003417","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hargreave M., Andersen T., Nielsen A., Munk C., Liaw K.L., Kjaer S.
