Understanding Cannabis Use and Perceptions in Patients with Substance Use Disorders and Concurrent Disorders
FY 2020-21
Summary
Cannabis use is common among patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). However, the ways in which people with SUDs use cannabis and their motivations for doing so are currently understudied. There is also a significant lack of information regarding the types of cannabis products used by people with SUDs. Furthermore, people who identify as LGBTQ+ are at higher risk of cannabis use and SUDs, yet very little is known about cannabis use patterns in this population. This project will use both quantitative methods (surveys administered to 600 adults with SUDs, including a subset of 100 who identify as LGBTQ+) and qualitative methods (in-depth interviews with 36 adults) to explore cannabis use patterns, knowledge, motivations, and perceptions in this population. Improved understanding of motivations for and perceptions of cannabis use will help clinicians devise better treatments for cannabis-related problematic behaviors in this patient population.

Abstract
Cannabis use is common among patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). However, the ways in which people with SUDs use cannabis and their motivations for doing so are currently understudied. There is also a significant lack of information regarding the types of cannabis products used by people with SUDs. Furthermore, people who identify as LGBTQ+ are at higher risk of cannabis use and SUDs, yet very little is known about cannabis use patterns in this population. This project will use both quantitative methods (surveys administered to 600 adults with SUDs, including a subset of 100 who identify as LGBTQ+) and qualitative methods (in-depth interviews with 36 adults) to explore cannabis use patterns, knowledge, motivations, and perceptions in this population. Improved understanding of motivations for and perceptions of cannabis use will help clinicians devise better treatments for cannabis-related problematic behaviors in this patient population.
