Abstract

Objective: An important antecedent of substance use among young adults is intentions for use (e.g., planned vs. unplanned use). In contrast to previous theories, emerging evidence suggests planned use, rather than unplanned use, is primarily related to consumption and sometimes consequences. As this has been most recently investigated with alcohol-only use, there remains a limited understanding of planned versus unplanned cannabis use, as well as how cannabis consumption influences planned versus unplanned alcohol events.

Method: Using data from a 28-day ecological momentary assessment study in young adults (n = 110) that frequently use alcohol and cannabis, we examined how planned versus unplanned alcohol and cannabis use influence consumption levels and consequences while controlling for the impact of each substance on the other.

Results: Alcohol models revealed that planned alcohol use was linked to greater alcohol consumption at the day level and higher likelihood of experiencing positive alcohol consequences at the person level. The use of cannabis on a drinking day was also positively associated with experiencing a positive alcohol consequence. There were no day-level associations between planned alcohol use and negative alcohol consequences. Cannabis models revealed planned use was associated with higher likelihood of experiencing a negative cannabis consequence at the day level but was not associated with cannabis consumption or positive consequences.

Conclusions: This study highlighted differences in planned alcohol and cannabis use in predicting consumption and related consequences in young adults. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

意图很重要：计划和非计划的酒精和大麻使用如何影响结果。

目的：年轻人物质使用的一个重要前提是使用意图（例如，计划使用与计划外使用）。与之前的理论相反，新出现的证据表明，有计划的使用，而不是无计划的使用，主要与消费有关，有时也与后果有关。由于最近对只使用酒精的情况进行了调查，因此对计划内与计划外的大麻使用以及大麻消费如何影响计划内与计划外的酒精事件的了解仍然有限。方法：利用对经常使用酒精和大麻的年轻人（n = 110）进行的为期28天的生态瞬时评估研究的数据，我们在控制每种物质对另一种物质的影响的同时，研究了计划与非计划的酒精和大麻使用如何影响消费水平和后果。结果：酒精模型显示，计划的酒精使用与每天更多的酒精消费量和更有可能在个人层面上经历积极的酒精后果有关。在饮酒日使用大麻也与经历积极的酒精后果呈正相关。在计划饮酒和负面酒精后果之间没有日水平的联系。大麻模型显示，计划使用与更有可能在白天经历大麻的负面后果有关，但与大麻消费或积极后果无关。结论：本研究强调了计划酒精和大麻使用在预测年轻人消费和相关后果方面的差异。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
