AB  - This study assesses medical students' use of and attitudes towards club drugs, 
      classified as "Generation I" (i.e., cocaine and lysergic acid diethylamide), and 
      "Generation II" (i.e., methylenedioxymethamphetamine [MDMA], ketamine, gamma 
      hydroxybutyrate, methamphetamine, rohypnol, dextromethorphan) club drugs based on 
      their initial widespread use in club settings. An anonymous questionnaire was 
      administered to 340 medical students. The prevalence of any club drug use was 
      16.8%, with MDMA (11.8%) and cocaine (5.9%) the most commonly used. Results 
      discussed also include the relationship of age and gender to having ever used 
      club drugs and to their attitudes regarding use. Additionally, the study 
      identifies differences in patterns of use and attitudes toward Generation I 
      versus Generation II club drugs based on age, gender, and participants' prior 
      club drug use. Findings are compared to those of earlier studies about medical 
      students and those in a similar age group in the general population.
