Cannabis Practices Among a Gender-Diverse Sample of Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gender is an important factor in understanding cannabis patterns, yet few studies have explored cannabis patterns among gender minority (GM) individuals - particularly among high-risk age groups including young adults.

Methods

Online survey participants between 18-34 years (N=2377) from the U.S. provided information on cannabis practices from May - July 2021.

Bivariate tests and multiple regression models examined association
