Abstract

Black Americans who use cannabis appear at greater risk for negative cannabis-related outcomes, and cannabis use is more common among individuals who smoke cigarettes. Race-based health disparities concerning cannabis outcomes indicate a need to identify psycho-socio-cultural factors that may play a role in cannabis use and related problems among Black Americans to inform prevention and treatment efforts. Minority stress-based models posit that stressors such as racism increase negative emotions, which may be associated with using substances such as cannabis to cope with negative emotions. Yet, no known research has directly assessed whether negative emotions experienced in response to racism play a role in cannabis-related behaviors. Participants were 254 (50.2% female) Black Americans who endorsed current cigarette smoking and were aged 18-73 (M = 42.1, SD = 14.1). Participants completed an online survey regarding their experiences with racism, smoking, and cannabis-related behaviors. Negative emotions in response to racism were assessed via the Racial Trauma Scale (RTS). Experiencing more frequent racism was related to greater RTS and cannabis-related problems. When entered simultaneously, frequency of racism was related to more cannabis-related problems via RTS, but not anxiety or depression broadly. Racism was related to more cannabis problems via the sequential effects of RTS and a greater quantity of cannabis used. These data indicate that the experience of negative emotions that occur after experiencing racism may play an important role in cannabis misuse among Black Americans.

吸烟的黑人成年人中的种族主义和大麻相关问题:负面情绪在经历种族主义反应中的作用。
吸食大麻的美国黑人出现与大麻相关的负面后果的风险更大,而吸食大麻在吸烟的人群中更为常见。在大麻结果方面基于种族的健康差异表明,有必要确定可能在美国黑人大麻使用和相关问题中起作用的心理-社会-文化因素,以便为预防和治疗工作提供信息。基于少数族裔压力的模型认为,种族主义等压力源会增加负面情绪,这可能与使用大麻等物质来应对负面情绪有关。然而,没有已知的研究直接评估对种族主义的负面情绪是否在大麻相关行为中发挥作用。参与者为254名(50.2%为女性)18-73岁支持当前吸烟的美国黑人(M = 42.1, SD = 14.1)。参与者完成了一份关于种族主义、吸烟和大麻相关行为经历的在线调查。通过种族创伤量表(RTS)评估对种族主义的负面情绪反应。经历更频繁的种族主义与更严重的RTS和大麻相关问题有关。当同时输入时,种族主义的频率通过RTS与更多的大麻相关问题相关,但与焦虑或抑郁无关。种族主义通过RTS的连续效应和更多的大麻使用量与更多的大麻问题有关。这些数据表明,经历种族主义后出现的负面情绪可能在美国黑人大麻滥用中起重要作用。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA,版权所有)。
