Colorado Medical Students' Attitudes and Beliefs About Marijuana.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Over the past two decades, state and local governments across the U.S. have been increasingly reforming marijuana laws. Despite growing support for marijuana as a medical treatment, little is known about medical students' perceptions of marijuana use.

Objective

To assess Colorado medical students' personal and professional opinions on current and future marijuana use in a healthcare setting.

Design

A voluntary, anonymous, online cross-sectional survey.

Participants

Medical students (n = 624) at the University of Colorado School of Medicine between January and February 2014 were invited to participate.

Main measures

Numerical responses were quantified using counts and percentages, and Likert scale responses were collapsed for bivariate analysis
