Cannabis use disorder treatment use and perceived treatment need in the United States: Time trends and age differences between 2002 and 2019.

Methods

Data from the 2002-2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health included 43,307 individuals who met past-year DSM-5-proxy CUD criteria.

Time-varying effect modification assessed the magnitude of age-treatment associations over time.

Results

Between 2002 and 2019, 6.1% of people with CUD used any CUD treatment, 2.8% used specialty treatment, and 2.2% perceived a treatment need. CUD treatme
