Abstract
The article focuses on Prescription stimulant use that has increased among adults in the US during recent decades, while remaining stable or declining among children and adolescents. MarketScan commercial claims data were analyzed to describe trends in prescription stimulant fills before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2016–2021) by calculating annual percentages of enrollees aged 5–64 years in employer-sponsored health plans who had one or more prescription stimulant fills.
