Neuroenhancement refers to the use of drugs by healthy individuals attempting to enhance their cognitive abilities and mental well-being. These individuals use or abuse psychotropic prescription drugs without any medical indication. The effect of occupation on consumption has for some time now been given considerable attention in the public discussion. To date however there is still a lack of systematic research carried out with representative data. The BAuA study on neuroenhancement asks whether demanding working conditions and the resulting mental strain are linked to consumption.
