The purpose of this study was to examine prescription drug abuse among the adolescent population and analyze factors that may contribute to or influence adolescent drug abuse. This study examined 3 waves of a secondary data set from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA) entitled the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). The data from these surveys are nationally representative and include data on several types of drug use and mental health conditions.

Abstract:

Background Diabetes is a common chronic disorder, the prevalence of which has increased substantially in the past decade with significant burden of illness to the patient, carers and society. Diabetes management in terminally ill patients is complex and challenging and it is one of the common co-morbidities seen in the terminal phase of life. With limited life expectancy, co-morbid conditions and high medication burden, diabetes management becomes more challenging in this population. The evidence base to inform practice on diabetes management outcomes at end of life is weak. The current practi

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain is a major reason why people consult their general practitioner. Analgesia plays a central role in its treatment but do not always work, resulting in the need to switch amongst analgesia potency levels. Stronger analgesia is however associated with increased adverse effects. The aim was to investigate the use of robust statistical approaches to determine socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with receiving and switching, prescribed analgesia in primary care management of MSK pain.

Abstract:

Background: Tertiary hospitals have multiple specialist outpatient clinics attended by patients suffering from various comorbid diseases. This results in individuals attending more than one clinic per month, since dedicated clinic days are seldom on the same day. As patients attend discrete clinics, they have separate encounters with various prescribers, increasing the potential for irrational drug use. In addition, multiple clinic visits have a negative socio-economic impact on health care users from poorer communities where financial resources are limited due to transport expenses and

Abstract:

Due to the fact that the function of dispensing is not the exclusive practice of a single profession, there is much conflict surrounding the issue: it forms the crux of the pharmacy profession but it also forms part of doctors’ scope of practice. Separation of the acts of prescribing and dispensing would prevent the interest of the doctor, who has the potential to profit from selling medicines, being placed above the interest of the patient. It would, however, also affect the essential services that many dispensing doctors provide to pensioners, unemployed patients, those not covered by a medi
