Due to the increased demand of a college course load and time needed for studying, students may turn to study drugs to help manage academic responsibilities. Thirty percent of college students report using study drugs to study and complete assignments (Cook et al., 2021). Using study drugs can have some negative repercussions; for example, users may be at an increased risk for negative physical and mental effects such as heart disease, sleep difficulties, and lack of motivation (Lautieri, 2022). This workshop will further analyze how study drugs affect the body in the short and long-term, and cover alternatives to using study drugs to excel academically.
