Cannabis use is associated with mental health problems, and young people in particular are at risk.
To investigate the association between cannabis use and mental health in adolescence.
Data from 5551 adolescents aged 12-16 years were drawn from the Dutch Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children school survey, carried out aspart of the international 2001 World Health Organization project.
After adjusting for confounding factors, cannabis use was linked to externalising problems (delinquent and aggressive behaviour) but not to internalising problems (withdrawn behaviour, somatic complaints and depression). An increasing frequency of use resulted in stronger links. No significant gender or age by cannabis interaction effects were found.
In a country with a liberal drug policy like The Netherlands, cannabis use is associated with aggression and delinquency, just as in other countries. Cannabis use was not associated with internalising problems. Alcohol use and regular smoking were strong confounding factors.
使用大麻与心理健康问题有关，尤其是年轻人面临风险。
调查青少年时期使用大麻与心理健康之间的关联。
5551名年龄在12至16岁的青少年的数据来自荷兰学龄儿童健康行为学校调查，该调查是2001年国际世界卫生组织项目的一部分。
在调整混杂因素后，使用大麻与外化问题（违法和攻击性行为）有关，但与内化问题（退缩行为、躯体不适和抑郁）无关。使用频率增加导致关联更强。未发现大麻使用的显著性别或年龄交互作用效应。
在像荷兰这样实行宽松毒品政策的国家，使用大麻与攻击和违法有关，与其他国家一样。使用大麻与内化问题无关。饮酒和经常吸烟是强烈的混杂因素。
