目标。开发并验证大麻渴望的多维问卷。设计和测量。目前未寻求治疗的大麻吸烟者（n = 217）完成了47项大麻渴望问卷（MCQ）和评估人口统计学、吸毒史、大麻戒烟尝试和当前情绪的表格。调查结果。探索性和验证性因素分析表明，四个因素的解决方案最好的描述项目结构。因素分量表来自17个项目具有显着的负载有可观的内部的误差，并在设置和亚组稳定。各分量表表现出低至中度的正相关，并与大麻使用史和广泛的单一项目的渴望措施显着相关。结论.研究结果表明，对大麻的渴望有四个具体的结构特征：（1）强迫性，无法控制大麻的使用;（2）情绪性，预期从戒断或消极情绪中解脱而使用大麻;（3）预期，预期吸食大麻的积极结果;（4）有目的性，意图和计划使用大麻获得积极结果。这些数据表明，MCQ是一种有效和可靠的工具，用于评估不寻求药物滥用治疗的个人对大麻的渴望，并且可以在没有戒断的情况下测量大麻的渴望。
Aims. To develop and validate a multi-dimensional questionnaire on marijuana craving. Design and measurements. Current marijuana smokers (n = 217) not seeking treatment completed a 47-item Marijuana Craving Questionnaire (MCQ) and forms assessing demographics, drug use history, marijuana quit attempts and current mood. Findings. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a four-factor solution best described the item structure. Factor subscales derived from the 17 items with significant loadings had respectable internal consistencies and were stable across settings and subgroups. The subscales exhibited low to moderate, positive intercorrelations and were significantly correlated with marijuana use history and a wide range of single-item measures of craving. Conclusions. Findings suggested that four specific constructs characterize craving for marijuana: (1) compulsivity, an inability to control marijuana use; (2) emotionality, use of marijuana in anticipation of relief from withdrawal or negative mood; (3) expectancy, anticipation of positive outcomes from smoking marijuana; and (4) purposefulness, intention and planning to use marijuana for positive outcomes. These data indicate that the MCQ is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing marijuana craving in individuals not seeking drug abuse treatment and that marijuana craving can be measured in the absence of withdrawal.
