AB Across  the  world,  there  is  a  high  prevalence  of  use  of  HDS.  According  to  the  World  Health  Organization,  the  use  of  HDS  in  the  United  States  has  increased  significantly  over  the  past  two  decades.  Depending  on  the  survey,  more  than  50%  of  respondents  report  using  an  HDS  in  the  past  30  days.  While  used  by  all  populations  and  all  socioeconomic  backgrounds,  studies  consistently  show  that  women  use  HDS  more  than  men,  and  family  households  with  greater  wealth  also  use  more.  Finally,  older  adults  tend  to  be  the  highest  consumers  of  HDS,  with  nearly  70%  taking  an  HDS  in  the  past  30  days.
