First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested a web-based simulation for college students who have a prescription for stimulant medication (like ADHD drugs). The goal was to see if practicing refusal skills and learning about risks in a virtual conversation could reduce how often they share, sell, or misuse their medication. About 249 students took part, and the results suggest the intervention may help prevent diversion and misuse.
