Abstract

Marijuana use among U.S. college students is the highest since the mid-1980s. Because knowledge about marijuana and confidence in the knowledge are related to changing marijuana laws and marijuana-related messages ubiquitous in college students' information environment, we examined their relationships with use. The Structural Equation Modeling method was used to analyze the relationships using survey responses from 249 college students in an adult-use marijuana legal state. Marijuana health knowledge was related to less use, and law knowledge was related to more use. Both relationships were mediated by perceived risk. Confidence in knowledge was related to more use directly as well as indirectly via lower peer disapproval and lower perceived risk. Among various marijuana message channels, peers were the most influential, contributing to lower health knowledge and higher confidence in knowledge.

大学生大麻信息渠道、健康知识、法律知识和知识信心是大麻使用的风险和保护因素
自20世纪80年代中期以来,美国大学生吸食大麻的人数达到了最高水平。由于对大麻的了解和对知识的信心与大麻法律的变化以及大学生信息环境中无处不在的大麻相关信息有关,我们研究了它们与使用的关系。采用结构方程建模方法对249名成人大麻合法州大学生的问卷调查结果进行分析。大麻健康知识与较少使用有关,法律知识与较多使用有关。这两种关系都受到感知风险的调节。对知识的信心与更多的使用直接或间接相关,通过较低的同伴不赞成和较低的感知风险。在各种大麻信息渠道中,同伴影响最大,导致健康知识较低,知识信心较高。
