Abstract in brief
- The study finds that US adults who use kratom tend to be younger, male, unpartnered, and have lower income, with higher rates of chronic pain, childhood adversity, anxiety, and depression compared to non-users.
- Kratom users are also more likely to use other substances such as prescription opioids, psychedelics, and cannabidiol, and most meet criteria for a substance use disorder; however, they are less likely to live in urban or suburban areas.
- The strongest predictors of kratom use include the use of other drugs, nonmedical prescription opioids, and lifetime opioid agonist therapy, suggesting that drug use behaviors are key indicators of kratom consumption among this population.]
