Abstract
AIM: Aim of the present analysis is to describe the prevalence of cannabis-related problems in adolescents as well as their factors of influence. METHODS: Data from 1 933 recent cannabis users participating in the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other Drugs (ESPAD) were analysed. Cannabis-related problems were assessed using the Cannabis Abuse Screening Test (CAST). RESULTS: The most frequently reported problems were reproaches from family or friends and memory problems. High risk consumption was identified in 9.3% of recent cannabis users. Significant predictors were gender, cigarette consumption, other problem behaviour and friends using cannabis. CONCLUSION: The identification of persons with problematic cannabis use is important in order to offer targeted early interventions.
