L’objectif
The purpose of this study was to identify opioid misuse initiation patterns among AAs and assess whether these patterns differed from those of White Americans.
Constatations/points à retenir
While AAs and White Americans both tended to initiate with prescription opioids (not heroin), AAs initiated at younger ages and mostly acquired opioids through non-healthcare related sources (e.g. friends, dealer).
