The objective of this study was to assess the association between cannabis use disorder (CUD) and self-injury among veterans. As expected, after adjusting for sex, age, sexual orientation, combat exposure, traumatic life events, traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, alcohol use disorder, and noncannabis drug use disorder, CUD was significantly associated with both suicidal (OR = 3.10, p = .045) and nonsuicidal (OR = 5.12, p = .009) self-injury. CUD was the only variable significantly associated with self-injury in all three models examined. These findings are consistent with prior research among civilians and suggest that CUD may also increase veterans' risk for self-injurious behavior.
本研究旨在评估大麻使用障碍(CUD)与退伍军人自残之间的关联。不出所料,在调整了性别、年龄、性取向、战斗暴露、创伤性生活事件、创伤性脑损伤、创伤后应激障碍、抑郁、酒精使用障碍和非大麻药物使用障碍后,CUD 与自杀(OR=3.10,p=.045)和非自杀(OR=5.12,p=.009)自残均显著相关。在所有三个检查模型中,CUD 是唯一一个与自残显著相关的变量。这些发现与之前在平民中的研究一致,表明 CUD 也可能增加退伍军人自残行为的风险。
