The big idea [adderall-falling-gif]( Zachary Crockett Could the Adderall shortage impact the workplace? Whispers about the difficulty of obtaining Adderall have been circulating among patients for months. Last week, the FDA officially [confirmed]( their fears — the drug and its generic versions are in short supply, per The Wall Street Journal. Notorious on college campuses as a study drug… … Adderall is a stimulant used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In recent years, a couple factors have led to increased usage in the workplace: - Increased diagnoses: ADHD is [~2x]( as common today among US children as it was in the 1980s, and many patients [continue]( their prescription after entering the workforce. - Virtual prescriptions: In 2020, the federal government passed legislation allowing patients to get Adderall prescribed virtually, which telehealth startups like Cerebral took advantage of. Further, a rise in prescriptions among 22- to 44-year-olds during the pandemic [revealed]( many didn’t actually have a formal ADHD diagnosis. This sudden rise in prescriptions led to increased demand — a problem for pharmaceutical companies with strict manufacturing quotas. So what’s next? Increased demand is just one part of the problem. - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, the largest supplier of Adderall in the US, says a labor shortage on its packaging line has slowed production, resulting in low supply. For patients, that means it could be a while before that next prescription is filled.

SNIPPETS Meta’s original goal for 2022 was to have 500k monthly users on Horizon Worlds, its metaverse platform, by year-end. It [reportedly]( has less than 200k.

Chart [female-athletes-chart]( Singdhi Sokpo Why brands are flocking to women’s sports While wage gaps between male and female athletes generally persist, brand deals are leveling the playing field. This year, deals for female leagues and teams were up 21%, while deals with athletes [were up]( 18%, per SponsorUnited. One reason? Female athletes are proving they can engage an audience better than their male counterparts. - In professional tennis, women players engaged 53m followers with branded posts, compared to 38.5m for men. - In college sports, women athletes generated 4x the engagement of men with less than half as many brand partnerships. Financial, apparel, and non-alcoholic beverage companies signed the most deals, and it's likely only a matter of time before other sectors get in on the action.
