Medicating America: Exploring Prescription Drug Abuse in a Rural East Texas Community
Stephen F Austin State University, Baker Pattillo Student Center, Twilight and Grand Ballrooms
Comments
Prescription drug abuse exemplifies a growing social issue in America and on a global scale (White House, 2004; CASA, 2005 as cited in DuPont, 2010; & Prescription Drug Abuse, 2011). There appears to be limited research highlighting the target population’s perspective of the problem. The purpose of this research was to explore the target population’s perspective as well as contrasting views of prescription drug abuse in Tyler, Texas.
