背景：冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行改变了美国的生活。考虑到大规模的停工和经济不安全，预计美国大麻使用的挑战将被放大。该研究的目的是检查COVID-19期间成人大麻使用的变化。方法：这一单组，纵向，队列研究报告了在线调查和6个月随访的结果。这两项调查都审查了大麻的使用情况，并在后续调查中增加了有关COVID-19的其他问题。定量分析（例如，结果：大多数样本（65.7%）报告称大麻使用没有因COVID-19而发生显著变化。CUDIT-R评分的单因素方差分析显示年龄组之间具有统计学显著性（p <0.01）。与定量分析相反，专题分析揭示了大麻使用的许多变化，以应对COVID-19。自我效能可以通过改变大麻产品的授权行为来观察，但CUDIT-R分数增加的人可能需要有针对性的评估和教育，以促进更健康的大麻使用。此外，这项研究呼吁对大麻使用的年龄和工作条件变化进行更大范围的审查。
Background: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has shifted life in the United States. It is reasonable to expect the challenges of cannabis use in the U.S. are amplified given the vast shutdowns and economic insecurity. The purpose of the research is to examine changes in adult cannabis use during COVID-19.Methods: This one-group, longitudinal, cohort study reports results from an online survey and six-month follow-up. Both surveys examined cannabis use and additional questions regarding COVID-19 were added to the follow-up. Quantitative analysis (e.g., ANOVA) was conducted on the questionnaire and thematic analysis was performed on a text question.Results: A majority of the sample (65.7%) reported no significant change in cannabis use as a result of COVID-19. A one-way ANOVA of CUDIT-R scores showed statistical significance (p < .01) between age groups. Contrary to the quantitative analysis, thematic analysis revealed many changes in cannabis use as a response to COVID-19.Conclusions:. Self-efficacy can be seen through the empowered behaviors to change cannabis products but those with an increase in CUDIT-R scores may need targeted assessments and education to promote healthier cannabis use. Additionally, this study calls for a larger examination of changes in cannabis use by age and working conditions.
