Causes of Prescription Drug Abuse?

Question by emilysaysholaa: Causes of Prescription Drug Abuse?
I’m doing a research paper on prescription drug abuse, I have two causes and I need another !
Plus, I’m in world literature so I’m supposed to tie it into world issues, not just America. Does anyone know any other countries with these kind of problems?

Thank you for your help!
