Legalization of cannabis consumption in the United States (U.S.) has increased rapidly, impacting consumption rates in the general U.S.
The objective of this survey study was to establish prevalence estimates of cannabis consumption among voice patients, in addition to characterizing patterns of cannabis consumption.
A multicenter, anonymous survey study of cannabis consumption took place at multidisciplinary tertiary voice care clinics in Portland, Oregon (PDX) and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT) between April 2017 and December 2018. A convenience sample of 300 consecutively enrolled English-speaking patients 21 years and older with a voice disorder completed the survey. Data were obtained on the prevalence of cannabis consumption, frequency and methods of cannabis consumption, in addition to health impacts and demographics.
Agresti-Coull prevalence proportion estimates for cannabis consumption were higher among voice patients in PDX compared to PIT. Current consumers in PDX and PIT showed a similar frequency of cannabis consumption. Combustion methods (eg, joint) were more popular than non-combustion methods (eg, vaping) among current consumers; inhaled methods (eg, joint) were more popular than non-inhaled methods (eg, edibles). Though vocal handicap scores for current consumers were similar across sites and comparable to lifetime non-consumers who also were non-smokers of tobacco, a lifetime history of cannabis consumption was associated with vocal and overall health impacts.
Prevalence estimates for current cannabis consumption among voice patients from tertiary voice care clinics mirrored prevalence estimates reported for large, representative samples from Oregon and Pennsylvania. These findings provide valuable insight on the extent of cannabis consumption among voice patients.
在美国，大麻消费合法化的速度迅速加快，影响了美国普通民众的消费率。
本调查研究的目的是确定嗓音疾病患者中大麻消费的流行率估计值，并描述大麻消费模式。
2017年4月至2018年12月期间，在俄勒冈州波特兰市（PDX）和宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡市（PIT）的多学科三级嗓音护理诊所开展了一项关于大麻消费的多中心、匿名调查研究。对300名年龄在21岁及以上、患有嗓音疾病且连续入组的会说英语的患者进行了便利抽样调查。除了健康影响和人口统计学数据外，还获取了大麻消费的流行率、消费频率和方式的数据。
与匹兹堡市相比，波特兰市嗓音疾病患者中大麻消费的阿格雷斯蒂 - 库尔流行率估计值更高。波特兰市和匹兹堡市的当前消费者大麻消费频率相似。在当前消费者中，燃烧方式（如吸食大麻烟）比非燃烧方式（如吸电子烟）更受欢迎；吸入方式（如吸食大麻烟）比非吸入方式（如食用大麻制品）更受欢迎。尽管当前消费者的嗓音障碍评分在各地点相似，且与终生不吸烟的非消费者相当，但大麻消费的终生史与嗓音和整体健康影响有关。
三级嗓音护理诊所嗓音疾病患者当前大麻消费的流行率估计值与俄勒冈州和宾夕法尼亚州大型代表性样本报告的流行率估计值相符。这些发现为嗓音疾病患者中大麻消费的程度提供了有价值的见解。
