About The Study: This population-based, repeated cross-sectional study identified increases in stimulant prescribing, accelerating in 2020, particularly among females and individuals ages 18 to 64. The findings are consistent with prior research in commercially insured U.S. populations; however, this population-wide study reveals a broader and more accelerated increase in stimulant prescribing.
