Abstract
In a national sample of college students with a mental health diagnosis, individuals in treatment were more likely to report engaging in non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) compared to individuals not receiving treatment. Findings can help mental health professionals identify at-risk students seeking mental health treatment.
