Studies have shown that a proportion of students in higher education have used stimulant drugs for cognitive enhancement (CE), and further research has produced a substantial body of literature exploring prevalence and risks of CE drug use in academic settings. Public health officials have reason to be concerned about the use of CE drugs, since reported prevalence of use indicates a widespread, dangerous disposition toward the use of prescription drugs outside of the supervision of a physician. Dispositions like this can translate seamlessly to other domains, such as with opioids for pain or other illicit substances for “self medication.” Previous empirical research has explored domains such as attitudes toward CE drug use, perceptions of prevalence (i.e. perceptions of the ubiquity of CE drug use), and associations between CE drug use and other substance abuse (e.g. alcohol, illicit drugs, etc.). Other empirical studies have looked at predictors of CE use, such as academic environment, gender, and social marginalization. While the volume and size of such studies has increasingly expanded in the past few years, no previous study had explored the attitudes toward and use of cognitive enhancement among students in Christian institutions of higher learning. In addition to exploring the broader medical, ethical, and social considerations of CE use among students in higher education, this session will also present preliminary findings from a survey conducted at five member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) regarding attitudes and use of cognitive enhancement among Christian college students.
