Illinoisans among least likely to use drugs to relax, Gallup finds
A recent Gallup-Healthways survey found Illinois residents are among the least likely in the nation to use mood-altering drugs or medications to help them relax.
Gallup interviewed more than 450 residents from each state between January and December 2014 and asked one question: “How often do you use drugs or medications, including prescription drugs, which affect your mood and help you relax — almost every day, sometimes, rarely or never?”
Sixteen percent of Illinoisans who responded said almost every day, which is the fourth-lowest percentage in the nation, trailing only California (15.8 percent), Wyoming (15.5 percent) and Alaska (13.5 percent). Conversely, West Virginians, at 28.1 percent, are most likely to use mood-altering drugs on a near-daily basis. And a few of our neighbors were among the top 10 states whose residents reported using such drugs almost every day, including Kentucky, Missouri and Indiana."
