The purpose of this study was to examine college students’ perceptions of a peer intervention to prevent or reduce the nonmedical use of prescription stimulants (NPS) on college campuses. A semi-structured moderator guide was used to discuss college students’ perceptions of their barriers and efficacy in intervening on behalf of their friends, as well as the expected outcomes of such an intervention. Rich discussions of both the hesitations and motivations for engaging in this behavior were had with the 46 participants in the study across five one-hour focus group sessions. Participant narratives surrounding this phenomenon revealed that they perceive a number of barriers to intervening as well as a series of conditions for intervening, accompanied by a low sense of efficacy for such an intervention. The results of these discussions are discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical implications.

“我向谁说些什么？”：大学生对非医学使用处方兴奋剂的同伴干预的看法

这项研究的目的是检验大学生对同伴干预的看法，以预防或减少大学校园中处方药兴奋剂（NPS）的非医疗使用。使用半结构化主持人指南来讨论大学生对代表其朋友进行干预的障碍和功效的看法以及这种干预措施的预期结果。在5个为时一小时的焦点小组会议中，与46名参加研究的参与者就参与这种行为的犹豫和动机进行了广泛的讨论。围绕这种现象的参与者叙述表明，他们感知到干预的许多障碍以及一系列干预条件，并且对这种干预的效力感不高。
