description Increased prescription drug misuse has been reported in veterans, yet there has not been a focused look at stimulant misuse in the military community or correlation with deployment injuries and illnesses. Our objective was to identify rates of stimulant misuse and any correlation with deployment in the military population.

Stimulant misuse was defined as taking more than prescribed, obtaining stimulants from others, and taking it for a nonprescribed reason. Proportions were assessed by Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. 26/498 (5%) of respondents reported misusing stimulants in the last 5 years. Misusers were more likely to have a mental health diagnosis, and they suffered either a deployment-related injury or another injury, as compared to those who used stimulants properly (p
