Abstract
This study examined risk for opioid analgesic use disorders (OAUD) using the 2007 National Survey of Drug Use and Health (N = 17,727 adolescents). Males with poor grades in school (D or F) and females who argued frequently (11 + times past-year) with parents were about 3 times as likely (males: adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.59, CI = 1.06–6.35, p < .05; females: AOR = 3.00, CI = 1.34–6.72, p < .01) as other males and females, respectively, to have opioid analgesic dependence that met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria. Hispanics were almost twice as likely (AOR = 1.95, CI = 1.05–3.65, p < .05) as Whites to have OAUD than to have alcohol or marijuana use disorders. Findings can inform interventions and future studies.
