- •
23.61% of homeless youth (n = 1046) reported non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD).
- •
Significant associations were found between perceived network norms (descriptive and injunctive) and NMUPD among this at-risk population.
- •
The associations between network norms and NMUPD varied by network type.
- •
Findings also indicate associations between other drug use (marijuana, heroin and injection drug use) and NMUPD.
- •
Interventions designed to target social network norms of NMUPD might be a viable strategy to reduce NMUPD among homeless youth.
