A mobile phone-based brief intervention with personalized feedback and interactive text messaging is associated with changes in driving after cannabis use cognitions in a proof-of-concept pilot trial.

ABSTRACT: Driving after cannabis use (DACU) is a significant public health concern and represents one of the riskiest cannabis-related behaviors. Though years of research has demonstrated that cannabis use impairs driving ability, many college students report believing that cannabis use does not impair their driving abilities. This perception of low danger may contribute to a permissive attitude toward DACU.
