Abstract in brief

- Factors associated with misuse include symptoms of ADHD, alcohol and marijuana use, membership in Greek organizations, and poorer academic performance.
- The study highlights the need for more standardized definitions and measurement tools for misuse, and suggests future research should focus on understanding why students divert medications and how campus policies may influence misuse.]
