Epidemiology of Cannabis Use and Cannabis Use Disorder in Canada: Collaborations for Public Health Insight and Policy Development
FY 2024-25
Summary
This study, part of my PhD research, investigates the patterns, predictors, and health impacts of cannabis use and cannabis use disorders across Canada, in collaboration with Health Canada and Statistics Canada. Following the national legalization of cannabis, it is essential to understand its effects on public health, including potential risks of dependency and mental health outcomes. By examining factors influencing cannabis use at the population level, this research supports CIHR's principles of knowledge translation and health equity, aiming to inform policies for responsible use and enhanced support for those affected by cannabis use disorders. Our work aligns with CIHR's Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) in addressing the societal and health impacts of substance use, ultimately promoting safer, evidence-informed policy decisions and public health practices.
