Table 4.

Rates of past year cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin use by prescription substance use categories – United States, 2015–2020.

Characteristic Weighted % (95 % CI)
No use Past year prescription stimulants
Past year prescription opioids
Prescribed use Misuse Prescribed use Misuse

Cocaine use 1.1 (1.0–1.2) 3.4 (3.1–3.8)a,c 12.0 (11.0–12.9)a,d 2.1 (1.9–2.2)a 5.7 (5.1–6.3)a
Methamphetamine use 0.4 (0.4–0.5) 1.2 (1.0–1.4)a,c 2.4 (1.9–3.0)a 0.5 (0.4–0.6) 2.1 (1.8–2.5)a
Heroin use 0.1 (0.1–0.1) 0.4 (0.3–0.5)b,c 0.6 (0.4–0.7)a,d 0.2 (0.2–0.3)a 2.1 (1.7–2.5)a

Each row represents a unique multivariable logistic regression model estimating a rates of use for the given substance (left column), controlling for past year stimulant use or misuse and past year prescription opioid use or misuse. Adjusted proportions were calculated using post-estimation predictive margins.

a

Different than no use p < 0.001.

b

Different than no use p < 0.01.

c

Different than prescription opioid use p < 0.001.

d

Different than prescription opioid misuse p < 0.001.
