Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the protective psychosocial correlates of cannabis use frequency in a HBCU sample. The sample included 680 college students (mean age = 19.94, SD = 1.69), with 515 females. Participants completed an online survey that included self-reported cannabis use frequency and protective measures (i.e., Social Support, Self-Compassion, Life Satisfaction, and Ethnic Identity). Ethnic identity and life satisfaction was negatively associated with recent cannabis (B = -0.16, p < 0.01, 95% CI [-0.27, -0.04]). The presented findings suggest empirical support for cannabis use interventions designed to increase ethnic identity among young adults.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse presents rigorous new studies and research on ethnicity and cultural variation in alcohol, tobacco, licit and illicit forms of substance use and abuse. The research is drawn from many disciplines and interdisciplinary areas in the social and behavioral sciences, public health, and helping professions. The Journal of Ethnicity in Substance Abuse is an international forum for identification of emergent and culturally diverse substance use and abuse trends, and the implementation of culturally competent strategies in harm reduction, individual, group, and family treatment of substance abuse. The Journal systematically investigates the beliefs, attitudes, and values of substance abusers, searching for the answers to the origins of drug use and abuse for different ethnic groups. The Journal publishes research papers, review papers, policy commentaries, and conference proceedings. The Journal welcomes submissions from across the globe, and strives to ensure efficient review and publication outcomes.
