Past-Year Kratom Use in the US: Estimates From a Nationally Representative Sample

Joseph J. Palamar

Summary: The study found that the prevalence of Kratom use in the past year in the U.S. is 0.7%, with a higher likelihood of use among individuals with prescription opioid use disorder. In addition to prescription opioid use disorder, individuals who reported past-year cannabis, cocaine, and prescription stimulant misuse also had a higher likelihood of using Kratom. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for Kratom use and potential risks associated with its use alongside other drugs.
