Study Summary
Nearly 20 million Americans report use of cannabis in the past month, and heavy cannabis use has increased by nearly 60% in the U.S. since 2007. Heavy cannabis use is associated with lower educational attainment, reduced physical activity, increased rates of addiction and unemployment, and neuropsychological deficits. Studies suggest that cannabis use is also associated with increased mental health symptoms, drugged driving, and traffic accidents. While there is evidence that sustained abstinence can lead to improvements in the functional outcomes of former users, the degree to which reductions alone (i.e., not sustained abstinence) in cannabis use might be associated with positive changes in functional outcomes is unknown. This is a critical gap in the literature, as many interventions for cannabis and other drugs are associated with decreases in frequency and quantity of use, but fail to achieve an effect on overall abstinence rates. The objective of the present research is to use ecological momentary assessment (EMA), a real-time, naturalistic data collection method, to prospectively study the impact of reduced cannabis use on functional outcomes in heavy cannabis users. Contingency management (CM) will be used to promote reductions in frequency and quantity of cannabis use. CM is an intensive behavioral therapy that is highly effective at producing short-term reductions in illicit drug use. We have recently developed a novel approach that leverages mobile technology and recent developments in cannabis testing. We have pilot-tested this approach with heavy cannabis users and found that it is an acceptable and feasible method. The present research will use this technology in conjunction with EMA methods to study the impact of reduced cannabis use on key functional outcomes. Our central hypothesis is that reductions in frequency and quantity of cannabis use will lead to positive changes in cannabis users' mental health, self-efficacy, physical activity, working mem
