Abstract

Purpose: Determine the association of marijuana use with serious psychological distress (SPD) among adults aged 18 years or older using a large, nationally representative sample of US households.

Design: Cross-sectional analysis.

Setting: Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 2021.

Subjects: 47,247 respondents representing 253.7 million adults (age>18 years) in the US.

Measures: Marijuana use was categorized as (1) None, (2) within the past month, (3) within 1 year, and (4) more than a year ago from the interview time. SPD was measured with the Kessler-6 distress scale.

Analysis: Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses accounting for complex survey designs were conducted.

Results: Among adults in the US, 50.9% never used marijuana, 13.7%, 6.0%, and 29.4% reported marijuana use in the past month, in the past year, and more than a year ago, respectively. Individuals using marijuana within the past month, within a year, and more than a year ago reported higher past month SPD (15.3%, 13.5%, and 6.8%, respectively) than never-users (4.9%). Adjusted logistic regression analysis revealed that marijuana use in the past month, past year (1-12 months), and over a year ago is associated with higher SPD (AOR [95% CI] = 2.06 [1.72, 2.45]; 1.82 [1.50, 2.21]; 1.53 [1.26, 1.87], respectively) compared to no marijuana use.

Conclusion: Adults who used marijuana more recently were more likely to report SPD.

美国成年人大麻使用与心理困扰的关系。

目的：通过一个具有全国代表性的美国家庭大样本，确定18岁或以上成年人使用大麻与严重心理困扰（SPD）的关系。设计：横断面分析。环境：数据来自2021年全国药物使用和健康调查。研究对象：美国47,247名受访者，代表2.537亿成年人（年龄在18岁至18岁之间）。衡量标准：大麻使用分为(1)没有，(2)在过去一个月内，(3)在一年内，(4)从采访时间起超过一年。SPD采用Kessler-6痛苦量表进行测量。分析：对复杂的调查设计进行双变量和多变量logistic回归分析。结果：在美国成年人中，50.9%从未使用过大麻，13.7%，6.0%和29.4%分别在过去一个月，过去一年和一年多前使用过大麻。在过去一个月、一年内和一年多以前使用大麻的人报告的上个月SPD（分别为15.3%、13.5%和6.8%）高于从未使用过大麻的人（4.9%）。经调整的logistic回归分析显示，过去一个月、过去一年（1-12个月）和一年前使用大麻与SPD升高相关(AOR [95% CI] = 2.06 [1.72, 2.45]；1.82 [1.50, 2.21]；1.53[1.26, 1.87])与不使用大麻相比。结论：最近使用大麻的成年人更有可能报告SPD。
