Background: Stimulant misuse is a rising concern in the United States. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to better understand the U.S. general public's knowledge, perceptions, and intentions regarding stimulant misuse, and to assess sociodemographic differences. Methods: tests assessed differences across age (young adults/adults [≤44] versus middle-aged/older adults [>44]), sex, race, and urbanicity. Linear regression assessed predictors of intentions. Conclusions: Knowledge, perceptions, and non-medical stimulant use intentions differed across age, sex, race, and urbanicity. Future studies should explore strategies to overcome these disparities.
