Prescription opioids and sedatives are among the most widely abused drugs and their combined use can be lethal. Increasingly rigid prescribing guidelines may contribute to the changing context of opioid use and increase drug diversion. OBJECTIVE: To examine gender differences in diversion of prescription opioids and sedatives among non-medical prescription opioid and sedative polysubstance users. We hypothesize that men will be more likely than women to engage in incoming diversion. METHODS: Data from the Prescription Drug Abuse, Misuse, and Dependence Study, a cross-sectional study focused on prescription drug users, were analyzed. Non-medical use was defined as use of a drug that was not prescribed or use in a way other than prescribed. Individuals who reported past 12-month non-medical opioid and sedative use were included; diversion was defined as incoming (obtaining drugs from a source other than a health professional) and outgoing (giving away/selling/trading prescription drugs). RESULTS: Among the 198 polysubstance users, 41.4% were female. Men were 2.85 times as likely as women to report incoming diversion (95% CI: 1.21-6.72). Women were more likely to obtain opioids from a healthcare professional; men were more likely to obtain sedatives from a roommate, coworker, or friend. Over half of men and women reported outgoing diversion opioids or sedatives. CONCLUSION: Drug diversion highlights an important point of intervention. Current prevention efforts that target prescribers should be expanded to include users and diversion activities; these interventions should be gender-specific.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.70805020110221,"endowment":2.70805020110221,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"31935131","pmcid":"PMC7939137","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2999422286","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Institute on Aging","grant_id":"T32AG000270","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Institute on Drug Abuse","grant_id":"R01DA020791","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Institute on Drug Abuse","grant_id":"T32DA035167","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Institutes of Health","grant_id":"5T32AG000270-17","title":"Health of Older Minorities"},{"funder_name":"National Institutes of Health","grant_id":"5T32DA035167-08","title":"UF Substance Abuse Training Center in Public Health"},{"funder_name":"National Institutes of Health","grant_id":"3R01DA020791-04S2","title":"Prescription Drug Misuse, Abuse and Dependence"}],"total_grants":6,"fwci":1.1975,"citation_percentile":0.79878784,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":2},{"year":2022,"count":3},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2024,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":2}],"oa_status":"green","license":null,"oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/7939137","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/7939137","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00952990.2019.1708086","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00952990.2019.1708086","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31935131","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7939137","host_type":""},{"url":"https://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00952990.2019.1708086","host_type":""}],"fields_of_study":["Opioid Use Disorder Treatment","HIV, Drug Use, Sexual Risk","Substance Abuse Treatment and Outcomes","03 medical and health sciences","0302 clinical medicine","Adult","Analgesics, Opioid","Cross-Sectional Studies","Female","Humans","Hypnotics and Sedatives","Male","Middle Aged","Opioid-Related Disorders","Prescription Drug Misuse","Sex Factors","United States","Young Adult"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Analgesics, Opioid","Cross-Sectional Studies","Female","Humans","Hypnotics and Sedatives","Male","Middle Aged","Opioid-Related Disorders","Sex Factors","United States","Young Adult","Prescription Drug Misuse"],"keywords":["Polysubstance dependence","Medical prescription","Medicine","Prescription Drug Misuse","Context (archaeology)","Sedative","Psychiatry","Substance abuse","Opioid","Family medicine","Opioid use disorder","Nursing","Opioids","Sedatives","Benzodiazepines","Misuse","Diversion","Non-medical Use","Prescription Pain Relievers","Adult","Male","Middle Aged","Opioid-Related Disorders","United States","Analgesics, Opioid","Young Adult","Cross-Sectional Studies","Sex Factors","Humans","Hypnotics and Sedatives","Female"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":3,"sdg_label":"3.
