More and more young people are misusing prescription over the last decade, resulting in addictions and in some cases lethal consequences. Of any age group, 15 to 25-year-olds are the most likely to misuse prescription drugs but there hasn't been a lot of research on who is most at risk. A new study at Dalhousie University looked at personality types and whether they could indicate who is most at risk of prescription drug misuse. Dr. Sherry Stewart is one of the authors of this new study and is a Canada Research Chair in Addictions and Mental Health.
