Abstract
Objective: To describe the use of psychiatric medication and related health service utilization among college students receiving care on- and off-campus. Participants and methods: 3959 students from a large southern university participated in the Healthy Minds Study in May 2018. Results: Of students surveyed, 17.6% took psychiatric medication in the last year. Of these students, 22.0% received prescriptions on-campus, 61.7% received prescriptions off-campus, 6.4% received them both on- and off-campus, and 9.9% took medication without a prescription. Nonwhite, international, and younger students were more likely to utilize on-campus rather than off-campus psychiatric medication services (p < .05). Satisfaction with health services did not differ by location. Conclusions: The majority of students received psychiatric prescriptions off- rather than on-campus. While satisfaction with both on- and off-campus health services is equally high, minority, international, and younger students are more likely to seek care on- rather than off-campus.

为大学生在校内和校外开出的精神科药物:人口统计、药物类型和服务满意度的差异
摘要
目的:描述在校内和校外接受护理的大学生精神科药物的使用情况和相关健康服务的利用情况。参与者和方法:来自南方一所大型大学的 3959 名学生参加了 2018 年 5 月的健康心态研究。结果:在接受调查的学生中,17.6% 在去年服用了精神科药物。在这些学生中,22.0%在校内服用处方药,61.7%在校外服用处方药,6.4%在校内和校外都服用处方药,9.9%在没有处方的情况下服用药物。非白人、国际学生和年轻学生更有可能使用校内而非校外的精神科药物服务 ( p < .05)。对卫生服务的满意度并没有因地点而异。结论:大多数学生在校外而非校内接受精神科处方。虽然对校内和校外医疗服务的满意度同样高,但少数族裔、国际学生和年龄较小的学生更有可能在校内而不是校外寻求医疗服务。
