Substance Corruption in the United States: Findings From Contempo Epidemiologic Studies

Abstruse

Recent enquiry on the epidemiology of substance utilize disorders (SUDs) has provided important insights into these conditions and their impact on public health. In the United States, annual surveys of drug utilize in household and school populations serve every bit one of the primary sources of information almost the distribution of illicit drug use. This research has demonstrated continued shifts in trends in illicit drug utilize in the Us and chosen attention to rising rates of prescription drug misuse and abuse. Findings have likewise continued to highlight the substantial comorbidity of SUDs with other psychiatric disorders and with the ongoing HIV epidemic. Edifice on these foundations, future challenges for inquiry in substance abuse epidemiology will include using novel methodologic approaches to further unravel the complex interrelationships that link private vulnerabilities for SUDs, including genetic factors, with social and environmental gamble factors.

Introduction

Recent progress in the epidemiology of substance use disorders (SUDs) has been substantial and continues to provide important insights into these conditions and their impact on public health. Selected highlights reviewed in this article focus on recent findings and the systematic monitoring of trends in the landscape of drug utilize in the United states, the examination of the substantial comorbidity between SUDs and other psychiatric disorders, and the association of drug use with other high-chance behaviors and the spread of HIV. In addition, this article highlights important new directions in drug abuse epidemiology research, including the increasing integration of new methodologies into epidemiologic studies that promise to provide major advances in understanding the complex nature of drug apply disorders. The future of substance abuse epidemiology depends on the successful application of these integrated approaches to the study of complex human behaviors. These multifactorial models for agreement SUDs build on the foundations of traditional substance abuse research and contemporary trends in epidemiology and increasingly incorporate a wide spectrum of methodologies from molecular genetics and neuroscience to social epidemiology [i,two].

Trends in Substance Utilise

Large-scale population surveys such equally the household-based National Survey on Drug Use and Wellness and the school-based Monitoring the Future (MTF) study have provided rich data on substance use in the United states of america and pointed out ongoing shifts in trends of illicit drug employ [three•,iv•]. Overall illicit drug use reached a peak in the late 1970s, declined during the 1980s, rose again in the 1990s, and has remained relatively stable during the by several years (Fig. 1) [3•,four•]. Despite some variation in the absolute rates found in the major surveys of drug utilise in the United States, these epidemiologic studies indicate that illicit drug use remains very common and typically begins during boyhood. The 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health data indicate that about 46.i% of individuals 12 years of age and older in the United States—an estimated 114 million individuals—have tried any illicit drug at least in one case in their lifetime, 40.half-dozen% have used marijuana, and 29.vii% have used other illicit drugs [four•]. Reflecting the emergence of substance use in boyhood, the 2008 MTF establish that nineteen.6% of students have tried an illicit drug by eighth grade, 34.1% by 10th grade, and 47.4% by twelfth course (Fig. i) [3•]. The nearly recent findings from the MTF study also demonstrated that marijuana remains by far the near commonly used illicit drug, with 14.6% of eighth graders, 29.ix% of 10th graders, and 42.6% of twelfth graders reporting having tried information technology [3•]. A nearly universal finding across such studies is that drug use increases from adolescence to immature adulthood, and then gradually declines [3•,4•].

B, Percentage who used any illicit drug during the previous 12 months. C, Pct who used any illicit drug other than marijuana in their lifetime. D, Percentage who used any illicit drug other than marijuana during the previous 12 months. Note that beginning in 2001, revised sets of questions on other hallucinogen and tranquilizer use were introduced. Thus, data for "whatsoever illicit drug other than marijuana" were affected by these changes. (From Johnston et al. [3•]; with permission.)

Another key finding derived from these ongoing surveys is that the number of individuals who study misuse of prescription drugs has been increasing in contempo years [5]. In particular, the past few years have seen a marked increase in the misuse of prescription opioid medications, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone, along with a substantial increase in problems associated with such use, including fatal and nonfatal opioid overdose [5–7]. In 2008, marijuana remained the almost normally used category of driveling substance among twelfth graders (32.4% past yr prevalence), but prescription drugs emerged as the second most common category (15.4% past year prevalence) [3•]. Much of the attention paid to this epidemic of prescription drug abuse is a result of the increasing recognition of the problem among teens in the U.s.a. [5,8,9]. Other concerning changes in recent years include increases in marijuana employ, especially amid younger blacks and Hispanics, which may be related to an increase in marijuana authority [10]; shifts in the epidemiology of methamphetamine use, with continued rising rates in the rural United states [4•,11,12]; and increased availability of high-purity heroin and a rise in heroin use via smoking and other noninjection routes [thirteen].

Drug Abuse and Dependence

In addition to tracking trends in drug use, several ongoing, large-calibration epidemiologic studies, such as the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), accept assessed diagnostic categories of drug corruption and dependence as defined in the DSM-4. Contempo findings from the NESARC point that virtually 2.0% of adults living in Us households had a DSM-IV drug apply disorder in the prior 12 months (1.4% abuse, 0.6% dependence), and 10.3% reported a drug use disorder at any signal in their lifetime (7.vii% abuse, two.6% dependence) [14••]. In add-on, drug abuse and dependence were associated with significant disability, including missed work days and repeated hospitalizations [14••]. Drug apply disorders thus correspond a widespread and substantial public wellness problem in the Usa. Of annotation, rates of drug abuse and dependence were significantly greater amidst men than women, a finding consequent with results of several previous epidemiologic surveys [iv•,fourteen••,15,16]. Several other sociodemographic correlates were as well generally associated with greater risk of DSM-IV drug abuse and dependence on a 12-month and lifetime basis, including Native American ethnicity, younger age, having never been married, depression income, and residing in the Westward [fourteen••]. Other correlates were establish to be specific for abuse or dependence or for the specific fourth dimension period examined. For instance, rates of 12-month drug dependence, merely not 12-month drug abuse, were significantly greater amid those with an education level less than a high school degree. These findings highlight the importance of disaggregating drug corruption from drug dependence and lifetime from current disorders. They also showed an especially loftier prevalence of drug use disorders among Native Americans, with 18.4% reporting a drug use disorder at some point in their lifetime (11.half-dozen% abuse, 6.9% dependence) [fourteen••]. These findings are consistent with regional studies among Native Americans [17,xviii] and highlight the acute need of this community to gain access to substance abuse prevention and treatment services. Farther detailed analyses of the NESARC data and other similar data are needed to examine the underlying reasons for these sociodemographic disparities within the context of the multifactorial nature of drug use disorders [xiv••].

Younger age is consistently associated with drug utilise disorders [4•,14••,16]. However, information from the NESARC besides advise increased rates amidst individuals thirty to 44 years of age who grew upwards in the wake of the 1970s US drug epidemic [fourteen••]. These results indicate the potential for continued increases in rates of drug use disorders amidst older cohorts as the current baby boomer generation ages [19,20]. Findings from the NESARC too suggested that onset of drug abuse and drug dependence typically occurred during belatedly boyhood or early on adulthood, with onset later on in life beingness rare [14••]. Thus, adolescence is a particularly vulnerable period for the onset of drug use disorders and an of import target for connected etiologic and prevention research.

Comorbid Psychiatric Disorders

In addition to demonstrating a high prevalence of SUDs, recent epidemiologic research has provided consistent findings demonstrating the substantial comorbidity of SUDs with other psychiatric disorders. Findings from the Epidemiologic Catchment Surface area Survey [21], the National Comorbidity Survey [22], the National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey [23], and the NESARC [14••,24] all showed that mood, anxiety, and personality disorders are strongly associated with drug apply disorders. Epidemiologic surveys of adults likewise consistently show that anxiety, mood, and hating personality disorders are more strongly associated with drug dependence than drug corruption [25,26]. For example, recent reports from the NESARC institute that the odds ratios between lifetime psychiatric and drug utilize disorders are higher for drug dependence than drug abuse among those with any anxiety disorder (four.nine and 1.7, respectively), mood disorder (seven.1 and 2.iii, respectively), and antisocial personality disorder (16.7 and 5.4, respectively) [27,28]. Findings from the NESARC also document the importance of controlling for other psychiatric disorders when examining associations between drug use disorders and specific psychiatric disorders [fourteen••]. When analyses controlled for the presence of other comorbid psychiatric disorders, the strength of the associations between individual psychiatric disorders and drug use disorders was reduced but by and large remained strong (Tabular array 1). The decreased magnitude of these associations suggests that common causal pathways may underlie drug use disorders and other psychiatric disorders— findings that are consistent with twin and genetic studies [29]. These findings highlight the importance of continued enquiry on both shared and unique adventure factors underlying the comorbidity of psychiatric and drug use disorders.

Comorbid HIV Infection

Drug abuse epidemiology research continues to explore the function of substance utilise and SUDs in contributing to the HIV epidemic. Injection drug use continues to be a substantial category of risk for HIV infection, with an estimated 16% of individuals with newly diagnosed HIV infections in the United States in 2006 reporting this every bit a contributing take a chance cistron [30]. In addition to the take chances of HIV infection through sharing injection equipment amid injection drug users, noninjection drug use is associated with increased likelihood to engage in other HIV risk behaviors [31]. For example, drugs such as methamphetamine and related stimulants tin can simultaneously increase libido, lower inhibitions, and cloud judgment, raising the gamble of individuals engaging in unsafe sexual behaviors in which they might not have otherwise engaged [32,33]. In growing recognition of the substantial combined comorbidity of SUDs, HIV, and psychiatric disease, epidemiologic research has focused increasingly on the importance of understanding these conditions as part of a "syndemic" of multiple, linked epidemics that are powerfully influenced by social context [34–36]. This research promises to provide a better understanding of the interrelationships among drug corruption, HIV, other illnesses, and social weather condition such as poverty and structural violence in social club to meliorate explain the disproportionate brunt of these illnesses experienced by some communities [34,37].

Genetic Epidemiology

Family history is one of the most consistently and strongly associated risk factors for drug use disorders. Results from family unit studies testify that drug use disorders tend to cluster inside families [38]; twin and adoption studies propose that much of the familial clustering of drug use disorders can be explained by genetic factors [29]. Several controlled family studies demonstrated that substance corruption or dependence in probands (ie, the index instance in genetically informative designs) is associated with a substantial increase in risk for these disorders amongst get-go-degree developed relatives and offspring [39,40]. Furthermore, risk is conferred generally across the various classes of illicit drugs and within specific drug classes [41]. Genetic epidemiologic studies of drug use disorders have yielded consequent results indicating conspicuously that drug employ disorders have genetic and environmental underpinnings in need of farther explication.

Of notation, genetic factors appear to be more strongly associated with drug use disorders than with drug use in and of itself [29]. This finding suggests that genetic factors may be important for identifying individuals at risk for drug use disorders, whereas the prevention of onset of drug use is much more likely to be based on efforts to change environmental adventure factors. As with many other relatively common diseases, the risk for drug use disorders is believed to emerge from a combination of factors, including multiple possible genes exerting small furnishings, factor–gene interactions, gene–environs interactions, and a host of environmental factors and private riskconferring behaviors [29,41–43]. Considering identifying gene–surroundings interactions is likely to prove key to understanding the etiology of drug use disorders [42,43], advances in this of import area will do good from big, prospective, genetically informed studies fatigued from large, representative populations.

Future Directions

The hereafter of substance abuse epidemiology depends on the successful awarding of integrated approaches to the study of complex man behaviors. Such a goal of studying multifactorial models is consistent with current trends in epidemiology [ii] and builds on the rich history of drug corruption epidemiology by incorporating perspectives from molecular genetics and neuroscience into individual and social epidemiology. By integrating these diverse transdisciplinary approaches, prevention and treatment of drug use and drug use disorders will be enhanced [1]. Novel conceptualizations and measurements of social and cultural contexts within theoretically grounded enquiry are suggested because increased understanding of how genetic, biological, social, and contextual phenomena interact to influence behavior will ameliorate inform prevention and treatment for individuals at gamble for drug utilize and drug utilise disorders [44]. Recent research has begun to focus on the complex interactions among a range of such factors, including norms established by family members and public figures, peer group influences, and social and institutional processes [45,46]. Neighborhood and customs level factors, such as residential instability, community cohesion, or other aspects of local environments, as well probable serve as potential adventure or protective factors for drug use behaviors [47•]. Epidemiologic studies of drug use and drug use disorders increasingly will need to examine the complex interaction of these individual and social environmental factors, including firsthand individual factors and cumulative intergenerational effects [47•].

1 of the key challenges for epidemiology will be harnessing selected measures from a range of disciplines, such as sociology and neurobiology, that tin can be applied to large-scale, population-based studies. Measurement technologies that are already increasingly feasible for apply in epidemiologic studies include neuroimaging, serum samples for metabolic studies [48], and specimens for genetic clan studies. For case, as the technology for obtaining genetic specimens through mouthwashes and cheek swabs improves, applying such techniques in broad, population-based samples becomes more viable in terms of cost and acceptability to study participants [49]. Additional promising new epidemiologic techniques include ecological momentary assessment tools that can capture information from cohorts most at the time of its occurrence through participants' use of novel recording devices (eg, personal digital assistants or cellular phones) [50]. Moving into the study of interactions across domains of risk—private susceptibility, social environment, factor–environment interactions—provides great promise for the next generation of drug abuse epidemiology enquiry.

Conclusions

Epidemiology provides the foundation for understanding drug use, abuse, and dependence past demonstrating the distribution and determinants of these disorders. Through population-based studies, central clues every bit to etiologic adventure factors for these disorders are identified for detailed exploration in more refined epidemiologic and nonepidemiologic studies. As the field of epidemiology moves into an integrative era [1,2,47•], the epidemiology of drug utilise and drug use disorders must remain at the forefront. The goal volition increasingly exist to develop integrated models that amend understanding of the complex interrelationships among social factors, environmental agents, genetic predisposition, and other private factors contributing to the adventure of drug use disorders. Achieving this goal will require continued refinement of existing methods and development of new techniques for agreement the individual and the environment. The cognition obtained from such studies will improve the nation'due south public health by promoting integrated approaches to preventing and treating drug abuse and dependence.
