No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study will recruit frequent users of cannabis (defined at least fortnightly use) and randomize them either to: (1) form implementation intentions by linking situations in which they are tempted to use cannabis with strategies to avoid using cannabis in those situations by using a volitional help sheet, or (2) to consider the situations in which they are tempted to use cannabis alongside possible strategies to avoid using it as presented in the volitional help sheet but not to form implementation intentions. The effects on self-reported cannabis use will be assessed 1 month post-intervention. Predictors of cannabis reduction will also be examined.
