Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Researchers and policymakers alike have focused attention on the recent increase in unauthorized prescription drug use by adolescents. Likewise, attention has been focused on the link between drug use and delinquent behavior. Most prescription drug use, however, is lumped together simply as illicit or unauthorized. In fact, adolescents use unauthorized prescription drugs for a multitude of reasons; some to get high, others to concentrate better or “bulk up.” It is unclear how using drugs for reasons other that “getting high” relates to delinquency. Some researchers claim that drug use itself increases the likelihood of delinquency, while others maintain that the relation is either spurious or results from social learning factors. This paper utilizes data from a 2006 survey of Delaware Public School students to investigate the reasons given by students for using unauthorized prescription drugs. The analysis describes what types of students use prescription drugs for different reasons and tests whether different motivations for use predict other drug use and delinquency equally, net of other factors.
