The purpose of this study was to determine the protective psychosocial correlates of cannabis use frequency in a HBCU sample. The sample included 680 college students (mean age = 19.94, SD = 1.69), with 515 females. Participants completed an online survey that included self-reported cannabis use frequency and protective measures (i.e., Social Support, Self-Compassion, Life Satisfaction, and Ethnic Identity). Ethnic identity and life satisfaction was negatively associated with recent cannabis (B = -0.16, < 0.01, 95% CI [-0.27, -0.04]). The presented findings suggest empirical support for cannabis use interventions designed to increase ethnic identity among young adults.
本研究的目的是确定在一个历史上黑人大学(HBCU)样本中,大麻使用频率的保护性心理社会关联因素。样本包括680名大学生(平均年龄 = 19.94,标准差 = 1.69),其中515名女性。参与者完成了一项在线调查,该调查包括自我报告的大麻使用频率和保护措施(即社会支持、自我同情、生活满意度和种族认同)。种族认同和生活满意度与近期大麻使用呈负相关(B = -0.16,<0.01,95%置信区间[-0.27,-0.04])。研究结果为旨在提高年轻人种族认同的大麻使用干预措施提供了实证支持。
