dc.description.abstract | Frequent and increasing use of over-the-counter analgesics (OTCA) is a public health concern. Pain conditions
and psychological distress are related to frequent OTCA use, and as exposure to potentially traumatic events
(PTE) in childhood appears to increase risk of experiencing such symptoms, we aimed to assess childhood PTEs
and related symptoms in adolescence as predictors for frequent OTCA use in young adulthood. Prospective
population survey data were used (n =2947, 59.1% female, 10–13 years follow-up). Exposure to PTEs, symptoms
of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, musculoskeletal pain and headache were assessed in
adolescence (13–19 years). Use of OTCA was assessed in young adulthood (22–32 years) and use of OTCA to treat
musculoskeletal pain and headache served as separate outcomes in ordinal logistic regression analyses. Overall,
exposure to childhood PTEs, particularly direct interpersonal violence, was significantly and consistently related
to more frequent use of OTCA to treat musculoskeletal pain and headaches in young adulthood. Adjusting for
psychological symptoms and pain attenuated associations, indicating that these symptoms are of importance for
the relationship between traumatic events and OTCA use. These findings emphasize the need to address
symptomatology and underlying causes at an early age. | en_US |
