Cannabis use in civilian college students and college student service members/veterans: the moderating effect of anxiety.

CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that when experiencing elevated levels of anxiety, SSM/V use cannabis more frequently than civilian students, suggesting that anxiety may be a more prominent risk factor for frequency of cannabis use for SSM/V compared to civilian students. Education, prevention, and intervention efforts specifically addressing anxiety in this demographic are needed. PMID: 32469609 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
