Introduction: Prescription stimulant diversion is a behavior that increases the availability and accessibility of prescription stimulants for purposes such as misuse. As such, we aimed to develop a theory-guided understanding of diversion correlates.
Methods: Data are from a probability sample of 499 undergraduate college students attending one California university.
Objectives: To understand the ethical principles guiding college students' abstention from pharmacological cognitive enhancement (PCE), and to determine the correlates associated with endorsing different principles.
Design: One-stage cluster sampling was used to implement a paper-based survey among undergraduate students attending one university in the U.S.
