Adolescent marijuana use and related risk behaviors, national findings from 2015 to 2017

American Journal of Preventive Medicine Sep 29, 2020

Schauer GL, Clayton HB, Njai R, et al. - Using nationally representative data, researchers sought to evaluate behavioral risk factors among students with different patterns of marijuana use. Data from the 2015 and 2017 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys, cross-sectional surveys performed among a nationally representative sample of students in Grades 9–12 (n = 30,389), were used to explore the connection between self-reported current marijuana use status and self-report of 30 risk behaviors across 3 domains: substance use, injury/violence, and sexual health. The authors discovered that established and nonestablished patterns of adolescent marijuana use are linked to a number of other risky behaviors. Clinicians and public health professionals should consider interventions to help adolescents who have nonestablished use patterns to avoid continued, established use in addition to interventions focused on preventing youth initiation of marijuana.
