Prescription opioid use in a population-based sample of young black men who have sex with men: a longitudinal cohort study.
This study’s aim was to examine the prevalence and both individual and network characteristics of prescription opioid use (POU) among young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM). A total of 514 YBMSM ages 16-29 in Chicago were surveyed from 2013 to 2016. Approximately 4.2% YBMSM reported POU in the past 12 months. Young men with a criminal history, experiencing violence, or using any illicit drug other than marijuana in the past 12 months, or engaging in condomless anal sex with their named sexual partners were more likely to report POU. The presence of a mother figure was associated with a decreased risk of POU.
