Abstract
Cannabis use, particularly in those with a family history of psychotic disorders, increases the likelihood of experiencing a psychotic episode and is associated with an earlier age of psychosis onset. It is unclear how this use affects symptoms in a first-episode psychosis population (FEP). Likewise, trauma is associated with an increased risk for psychosis, but the relationship between trauma and cannabis use on psychosis symptoms has not yet been elucidated. The present study aims to examine the relationship between trauma and cannabis use, as well as the effect of each on negative and positive symptoms in a FEP population.
