背景大麻的使用与心理健康问题有关，特别是年轻人处于危险之中。目的是调查大麻使用与青少年心理健康之间的关系。方法数据来自荷兰学龄儿童学校调查中的5551名12-16岁的青少年，作为2001年世界卫生组织国际项目的一部分进行。大麻的使用与外在问题（犯罪和攻击性行为）有关，但与内在问题（退缩行为、身体不适和抑郁症）无关。使用频率的增加导致了更强的联系。没有显着的性别或年龄大麻的相互作用effects were found.Conclusions在一个国家与自由的药物政策，如荷兰，大麻的使用与侵略和犯罪，就像在其他国家。大麻的使用与内化问题无关。饮酒和经常吸烟是强混杂因素。
Background Cannabis use is associated with mental health problems, and young people in particular are at risk.Aims To investigate the association between cannabis use and mental health in adolescence.Method Data from 5551 adolescents aged 12-16 years were drawn from the Dutch Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children school survey, carried out as part of the international 2001 World Health Organization project.Resullts After adjusting for confounding factors, cannabis use was linked to externalising problems (delinquent and aggressive behaviour) but not to internalising problems (withdrawn behaviour, somatic complaints and depression). An increasing frequency of use resulted in stronger links. No significant gender or age by cannabis interaction effects were found.Conclusions In a country with a liberal drug policy like The Netherlands, cannabis use is associated with aggression and delinquency, just as in other countries. Cannabis use was not associated with internalising problems. Alcohol use and regular smoking were strong confounding factors.
