“…A possible explanation for this discrepancy may be the difference in time-thresholds: In Duke et al 's [24] study 'current' misuse was defined as 'in the previous month' whilst most other studies used a six-to 12-month timeframe. Within studies using the six-to 12-month definition, more homogeneous DD prevalences of between 20 to 33% were reported [25][26][27][28].…”
