16 years old is peak risk for teens misusing prescription drugs

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

The peak risk for misusing prescription pain relievers occurs in mid-adolescence, specifically about 16 years old and earlier than many experts thought, according to a new study by Michigan State University researchers.

The results, based on recent nationwide surveys of nearly 120,000 U.S. adolescents, suggest prevention programs may need to be introduced earlier, in childhood and early adolescence, said James C. Anthony of MSU's Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

Recent trends show clinicians and public health professionals are prescribing more pain relievers, and research suggests an increased misuse of these drugs and increased rates of overdose deaths, said Anthony, who supervised the research of postdoctoral fellow Elizabeth Meier and graduate student Jonathan Troost.

"While much of the previous thinking was that misuse of these drugs emerged in the final year of high school and during the college-age years, we found that for adolescents the peak risk of starting to misuse these painkillers generally occurs earlier, not during the postsecondary school years," Anthony said. "We suspect many physicians, other prescribing clinicians and public health professionals, will share our surprise in this finding."

The study, supported by grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and MSU, was published today in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, a network publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The team of researchers analyzed data from the 2004 through 2008 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health to identify when young people are most likely to start using prescription pain relievers to get high or for other unapproved uses. The results show about 1 in 60 young people between 12 and 21 years old starts using prescription pain relievers each year, outside the boundaries of what a prescriber has intended.

Peak risk is concentrated at about 16 years, when roughly 1 in 30 to 40 youth start to use painkillers to get high, or for other reasons not intended by the prescriber.

"Getting a firm grasp of when the first onset occurs is very important when we try to take public health action to prevent first occurrence," Anthony said. "With the peak risk at age 16 years and a notable acceleration in risk between ages 13 and 14 years, any strict focus on college students or 12th graders might be an example of too little too late."

The results reveal a need to strengthen prescribing guidelines for clinicians and introduce early school-based prevention programs such as effective school-based alcohol and tobacco initiatives, he said.

Other types of prevention programs include peer-resistance programs such as the popular "Just Say No" campaigns. There also is an opportunity to work with pharmaceutical specialists who sometimes can reformulate these drugs so their effects are blunted when misused.

As for clinicians with a public health perspective, Anthony said that non-opioid pain relievers such as ibuprofen can be quite effective, and that when opioid pain killers are prescribed for adolescents or in reach of teens, the number of tablets can be limited or kept under lock and key.

"Patients in transient pain are often given a larger opioid prescription than is needed. It can end up stacked in the medicine cabinet, available to anyone in or visiting the household," he said.

Samsung Galaxy S III gets a Canadian girlfriend as Bell, Rogers, Telus, Wind Mobile line up

If you live north of the 49th parallel, you're no doubt frustrated that Samsung teased a summer launch for the Galaxy S III in North America but made no initial mention of its Canadian plans. Don't fret, as virtually every Canadian carrier and its mother has now pledged to carry the giant Android 4.0 smartphone while you're on your summer vacation -- the first carrier commitments in North America that we've seen. Bell, Rogers, Telus, Virgin Mobile and Wind Mobile have all stepped up as national providers, while regional carriers such as SaskTel and Videotron have also signed on. The Galaxy S III is a special milestone for Virgin, as it's the first 4G LTE phone on the Bell-run budget network. We're still waiting for Mobilicity and other cellular services to hop on the Galaxy S III bandwagon, and details like pricing and exact ship dates are still elusive, but odds are that Canucks will have a wide choice of carriers when the 4.8-inch flagship hits stores. Update: Sure enough, Mobilicity is also onboard, which along with Wind Mobile makes it pretty clear that T-Mobile-friendly AWS frequencies are baked in.

Male college students believe taking performance-enhancing drugs for sports is more unethical than using stimulants to improve grades

ScienceDaily (May 8, 2012) ? In the eyes of young college men, it's more unethical to use steroids to get an edge in sports than it is to use prescription stimulants to enhance one's grades, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.

And students who had themselves used stimulants without a prescription were more inclined to see such drug use as acceptable, according to the findings, which were published online in the APA journal Psychology of Addictive Behaviors. This is one of the first studies to compare perceptions of off-label prescription drug use with perceptions of steroids performance enhancers.

"This is consistent with the idea that using performance enhancers is viewed as less ethical in the sporting world than in the academic world," said the study's lead author, Tonya Dodge, PhD, of George Washington University. "Interestingly, the students in our study considered off-label prescription drug use as more effective for success than using steroids."

Approximately 1,200 college freshmen (73 percent white) at Pennsylvania State University answered a questionnaire that presented two scenarios. One described "Bill," a sprinter for his college track team who does not have a lot of time to train before the championship meet and is worried he won't be able to improve. He gets steroids from a friend and ends up performing better than expected and wins the championship race.

The second scenario presents "Jeff," a college student facing midterm exams who is worried that his grades in class may be low. He doesn't have much time to study so he gets some Adderall, a prescription stimulant, from a friend who tells him it will help him focus at exam time. Jeff takes the pills and ends up getting better midterm grades than he expected.

After reading both scenarios, the students were asked how strongly they agreed or disagreed with four statements: "Bill/Jeff is a cheater for using steroids/Adderall," and, "Taking steroids/Adderall was necessary for Bill/Jeff to do well."

The students were also asked if they had ever misused prescription stimulant drugs, such as Adderall, Ritalin or Dexedrine, or if they had ever used steroids. Less than 1 percent of the sample reported having ever used steroids while about 8 percent said they had misused prescription stimulants in the last 12 months. This compares to 8 percent to 34 percent of college students who have reported misusing prescription stimulants and 1.5 percent of adolescents and young adults who have misused anabolic steroids.

The researchers also asked the men if they had played a sport in high school to determine if that would affect their judgments.

Participants significantly rated Bill, the steroid user, as more of a cheater than Jeff, the prescription drug user. This difference got bigger if the students reported having misused prescription stimulants themselves in the past or if they had played a sport.

Overall, the students were more likely to consider Jeff's Adderall use more necessary to succeed than Bill's steroid use regardless of whether they had misused prescription stimulants in the past or had played a sport. "One reason students may have felt Adderall was more necessary than steroids for success is because people may believe intelligence is less malleable than athletic ability. This view of intelligence might have led the students in this study to believe that taking Adderall would increase intellectual capacity," said Dodge. "This research can help mold future prevention efforts around off-label prescription stimulant use in the academic world."

The American Psychological Association, in Washington, D.C., is the largest scientific and professional organization representing psychology in the United States and is the world's largest association of psychologists. APA's membership includes more than 137,000 researchers, educators, clinicians, consultants and students. Through its divisions in 54 subfields of psychology and affiliations with 60 state, territorial and Canadian provincial associations, APA works to advance psychology as a science, as a profession and as a means of promoting health, education and human welfare.

HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE for Verizon hands-on at CTIA 2012 (update: video)

This handset didn't surprise anyone when it was officially announced at CTIA Wireless 2012, but we're still happy to spend time with the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE for Verizon Wireless regardless. After catching enough glimpses of the smartphone over the past few months, we already had a good idea of what to expect: Big Red's latest LTE device will have Ice Cream Sandwich dressed in Sense 4, a 4-inch Super LCD qHD panel, a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 (Krait), 1,700mAh user-removable battery, microSD support and an 8MP BSI f/2.2 camera with a 28mm lens.

If you're familiar with either the OG HTC Droid Incredible or its sequel, you'll instantly recognize the trusty hump on the back of the third iteration -- Verizon and HTC haven't strayed too far from the design formula here. Aside from the Sense 4 firmware hiding inside the phone, the Incredible 4G LTE has little in common with its cousins, the One X and One S. Frankly, we're still left pondering if the carrier will come out with a version of its own, since we've seen the other three national powers get a high-profile device from the Taiwanese manufacturer.

We had a very similar feeling when holding the new Incredible, one easily related to how we felt with its predecessors. It's quite light, and it actually feels thinner than it really is. All in all, the phone is very comfortable to hold, and from our few minutes of using it, it seemed to be rather smooth. Naturally, as we expected, Verizon reps warned us that it's running on preliminary firmware at the moment, so we don't take a lot of stock in its performance, good or bad. All in all, it's exactly how we thought it would be -- a refreshed version of the Incredible 2, with a much better processor and a few other notable bumps in specs. Head below to check out a few images of Verizon's newest darling.

Update: Our hands-on video is now live after the break.

How to Secure and Protect Mobile Devices - Small Business Trends

If you missed our Twitter chat on May 2nd on the topic of mobile security and protection ? I?ve got good news. ?We have a recap below.

The topic was ?Mobile Devices: Secure and Protect ? Now!? We learned some surprising statistics and were pointed to valuable resources during this chat. ?Among them:

During the chat I was joined by two subject matter experts from Symantec, which sponsored the chat.

SYMANTEC SPEAKERS:

Kevin Haley
Director, Symantec Security Response
Twitter: @kphaley

Andrew Singer
Director, Symantec Product Marketing
Twitter: @SymantecEMM

?

Here are the questions I posed, and selected discussion around each question.

Q1: Every year we hear ?it?s the year of mobile.? How many SMBs actually use mobile devices in business? #SMBchat

95 percent of mobile workers now have smartphones, up from 85 percent in 2010 (2011 iPass Report) ? @KPHaley

Not only are people using mobile for work, but it?s all mixed up with their personal stuff #SMBchat -?@KPHaley

I use my mobile every day for business (internet mktg). -?@robert_brady

At our organization all of upper management and those that travel often use Blackberry (about 50 total) ? @Ileane

With smartphone penetration rates growing small business do not escape the trend. ? @fjfonseca

Q2: What are the top uses of mobile devices by small businesses? #SMBchat

Symantec research shows email as top use for SMBs and 54% use line-of-business applications on mobile devices ? @SymantecEMM

A line of business application for example is a financial reporting tool or a real estate listings application. @SymantecEMM

Don?t forget technologies like Square that empower the SB?s owner to use mobile. ? @fjfonseca

Many #smallbusiness owners have asked us to create an app to use their devices to scan inventory ^Matt ??@inFlowInventory

Q3: What is the biggest security issue when it comes to small-business mobile usage? #SMBchat

96% of lost phones had the data accessed in our study. Even those returned. ? @KPHaley

Lost or stolen, once out of the user?s hands a phone must be considered breached. http://t.co/dmnewP7w ?? @KPHaley

315 new mobile vulnerabilities found in 2011. 90% increase. Opportunity for bad guys is there. ? @KPHaley

My guess is the ?human factor,? leaving the mobile phone, no keyboard / PIN lock. ?? @Lyceum

Lost phones are actually the biggest risk for SMBs: http://bit.ly/IjpInI ? @KPHaley

Device loss, data leakage, unauthorized access to corporate resources and malware infection are all big security issues. ? ?@KPHaley

Here is a list I put together for protecting your phone. ?http://t.co/hpjPTfai ?? ?@KPHaley

Take a look at this Symantec blogpost on wardriving. Mobile devices, PCs are vulnerable attack http://t.co/Tb5c19P1 ? @SymantecEMM

Connect to encryption enabled wifi networks or only use applications that transmit via HTTPS ???RT @SymantecEMM @TJMcCue

If you are really dealing with sensitive data, use a VPN. Ask your geek friend to set it up. ? @fjfonseca

Remote wipe or encryption, pick the one that works for you. Protect the data on your mobile device. ? @KPHaley

Phishing is also harder to detect on smart phones because of the smaller screens.? @KPHaley

Q4: Which presents the bigger security risk to a company: ?a mobile device or a PC? Why? #SMBchat

Mobile devices are easier to lose and when discovered, curiosity can lead to violation of personal privacy: http://bit.ly/IjpInI ? @SymantecEMM

Malware for mobile devices is less common than malware targeting PCs, however we?re seeing more Trojanized apps ? ?@SymantecEMM

Both. Need to be secure and protected ??@txtnlrn

Don?t use the same password for different accounts, services. #StaySafe ?? @TJMcCue RT @fjfonseca

Locally stored data isn?t as dangerous as opening portal to data in cloud. Must be just as careful w mobile as PC ?? @Walter Paley

#Smbchat?tonight is a course in security ? follow?on Twitter and save your biz from hackers ? @RamonRay

Q5: In terms of mobile risk, what are the main consequences (losses)? #SMBchat

Losses stem from direct financial expenses, loss of data, and damage to brand or loss of customer trust http://bit.ly/K3LhyP ? @KPHaley

This one blows my mind: SMBs averaged $126,000 of loss in the past year due to mobile computing issues http://bit.ly/K3LhyP ?? @KPHaley

18% of all targeted attacks are directed at businesses with < 250 employees. http://t.co/ldE4bzLr ?? @SymantecEMM

Q6: Which is more likely: having your mobile device hacked into or losing it and someone accessing private info?#SMBchat

I would guess losing it and someone accessing private info. So many people lose their phones. ? @LisaSchulteis

Both are risks. Only 50% of smartphone finders contacted the owner in our smartphone experiment http://bit.ly/IjpInI ? @SymantecEMM

This stat is important, 18% of all targeted attacks are directed at businesses with 250 or fewer employees. http://bit.ly/ITfzSq ? @SymantecEMM

Not everyone can hack a phone. Everyone has the skills to steal one. ? @KPHaley

People are basically good. Just insanely curious. Don?t get down on humanity because of http://t.co/dmnewP7w ?? ?@KPHaley

I have heard stories about how the police have found the criminals by GPS location and ?find my phone? app. ? @Lyceum

Find my phone is a good example. If you lose your phone you know you can secure your data. ? @SymantecEMM @Lyceum

Because regular users keep thinking ?it only happens to the others? until it happens to them. ??@fjfonseca @Mayura

We have the tech now to secure mobile data, so let?s leverage these tools to the max!?#CoIT??>>> I agree there ?? ?@AdrienneSmith40 ?RT @Nukona_Walt

Q7: What can small businesses do today to reduce risk in mobile computing? #SMBchat

And this will sound familiar: Keep security software up-to-date; encrypt data going to and from the device. ? @KPHaley

Save yourself a lot of grief: Only use app marketplaces hosted by well-known and legitimate vendors http://bit.ly/IqJmSB ?? @KPHaley

Good start: Enforce policies for acceptable use, screen lock, passwords, and application downloads for all users. ?? ?@KPHaley

Protect mobile devices with Android Lock passwords and use Apps that can wipe a phone/tablet clean if lost or stolen ? @VernessaTaylor RT @jbrath

Pick a vendor that manages the updates for you. Not your job to remember to update. ? @KPHaley

Flashy, fiery Sarkozy fades from French scene

(AP Photo/Remy de la Mauviniere, Thibault Camus)

PARIS (AP) ? When Nicolas Sarkozy bounded up the steps of France's presidential palace in jogging shorts and shoes on his first day in office five years ago, many French instantly sensed they were in for something new.

In a country where King Louis XIV's phrase "L'Etat, c'est moi" ? "I am the state" ? resonated for later heads of state, the message from Sarkozy was clear: Tradition-bound France needed a self-image makeover.

His idea of change wasn't exactly what many French had in mind.

Sarkozy's meticulously built political career all but collapsed Sunday, after he lost to Francois Hollande, an unassuming and bespectacled Socialist, in France's presidential run-off. Sarkozy becomes the first French one-term president since Valery Giscard d'Estaing lost his re-election bid in 1981.

Sarkozy's inauguration-day jog, which conveyed youthful vigor, ultimately epitomized what many French came to see as jejune, self-centered antics unbefitting of a president at a time when economic troubles and persistently high joblessness were on most minds.

"I take full responsibility for this defeat," he said after the results came out Sunday night.

Some political brethren grumbled that Sarkozy should have officially jumped into his re-election race earlier, instead of clinging to his mantle as head of state until February. Other pundits suggested that less controversial conservatives such as Prime Minister Francois Fillon or Foreign Minister Alain Juppe would have had a better shot at beating Hollande than Sarkozy did.

A frank-speaking, energetic and media-savvy former interior minister, Sarkozy won the presidency in 2007 over Segolene Royal ? Hollande's former partner, and mother of his four children ? with an unlikely campaign built on promises of "rupture" from the policies of Jacques Chirac, his fellow conservative and former mentor.

It was personal style, many pollsters said, that largely did in Sarkozy. After his 2007 victory speech on Place de la Concorde, Sarkozy sped over to one of the ritziest restaurants on the Champs-Elysees to celebrate; then he jetted off to the yacht of a tycoon friend in the Mediterranean. Critics pounced on the showiness.

A lackluster economy and his inability to make good on his 2007 race promises to shrink persistently high joblessness didn't help. In the fourth quarter of 2011, France's unemployment rate was nearly 10 percent. In January, S&P downgraded France's state debt rating from its top tier, delivering a blow to his image as financial-manager-in-chief.

Sarkozy sought to cast himself as powerless: On the 2012 campaign trail, he repeatedly pointed to Europe's financial crisis ? in places like Italy and Greece ? that endangered the euro zone. He sought to cast himself as a "ship captain whose boat was in a full storm."

In many ways, Sarkozy was an anomaly as France's president.

He had a foreign-sounding surname. He didn't attend the most elite French university for public servants. He seemed to relish in chucking out the regal niceties of the presidency. His off-the-cuff remarks, like calling a somewhat belligerent passer-by at a Paris farm fair "a poor jerk," got him in trouble.

Sarkozy reportedly once said he'd foreseen himself more as a prime minister ? whose job is the day-to-day running of the government, requiring a lot of energy ? than head of state, whose traditional role is about statecraft.

But backed by a strong majority of his conservative UMP party in the National Assembly, and by force of personality, Sarkozy commandeered the reins of power. His prime minister, Francois Fillon, was seen as his executor.

In his first year in office, Sarkozy's team rammed through changes like a cap on income taxes for the wealthiest, seen by critics as a sop to the uber-rich friends who backed his candidacy and were in his inner circle from his years as mayor of the wealthy Paris suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Other reforms came hard, in the face of protest.

Sarkozy's team wrote into law minimum-service requirements during France's often-crippling labor strikes. It raised the retirement age to 62, from 60, in the face of protests. It pushed through complex reforms to cut costs in a creaky university system, and students protested in the streets by the thousands.

He reduced payroll taxes on overtime pay, and cut the bureaucracy by refusing to replace one of every two retiring state workers.

In the history books, Sarkozy's impact may well be more notable for what he accomplished abroad than at home: Under France's presidency of the European Union in 2008, he mediated between Russia and Georgia during their brief war; the following year, he replaced France in NATO's integrated command after a 43-year absence.

Politically, he was a mix.

Sarkozy favors free markets but has been unafraid to defend French business. He long took pride in his moniker as "Sarko the American" ? and has rebuilt ties both with the United States and Israel. He led France into a leadership role in a NATO-backed revolution in Libya that toppled Moammar Gadhafi, and has taken a tough line on nuclear-minded Iran. Along with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he helped craft a hard-won European fiscal treaty meant to stem the continent's debt crisis.

As interior minister, Sarkozy was generally successful as a crime-fighter. But his tough talk on youth in immigrant-heavy housing projects also often infuriated many French citizens whose families hail from former French colonies in north and sub-Saharan Africa.

Yet as interior minister, he helped create the country's largest confederation of Muslim groups, the CFCM, and supported a form of French-styled "affirmative action" ? before he abandoned it under pressure in his conservative political camp which saw preferential treatment as against France's color-blind values.

Born on Jan. 28, 1955, Nicolas Paul Stephane Sarkozy de Nagy-Bocsa grew up in a middle-class home in Paris, the second of three sons born of a half-Jewish French mother and an aristocratic Hungarian emigre father who fled Communism after World War II.

Sarkozy is the first French president to divorce and remarry while in office. He is the father of three sons and, as of last year, a daughter with former supermodel Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, his third wife.

Before this election, Sarkozy said he would quit politics if he lost.

"A new epoch is opening," he said Sunday night, adding he'd become a citizen "like you." He gave no specifics about his plans.

Sarkozy got a searing taste of defeat 13 years ago, after he headed a center-right list of candidates for European parliamentary elections, and the loss sent him into retreat from national politics.

"I recognize failure. I take full responsibility. I am ready to learn the consequences," he wrote in his 2001 book "Libre" ("Free") of that campaign in 1999, during which he had assumed leadership only six weeks before the vote. "And in the situation I find myself in this spring evening," he wrote, remembering the loss, "being, remaining, and being considered dignified is my only ambition."
