Qualitative interviews with young adults at risk for psychosis and who use Cannabis: Informing the development of a mobile intervention
Cannabis use disorder is common among young adults in psychiatric care, particularly those at risk for psychosis. Yet, interventions tailored to address this issue are limited. The goal of this qualitative study was to determine barriers and facilitators for reducing/quitting cannabis use, and to obtain end-user perspectives to inform a mobile app-based intervention. Twenty young adults (60% female) at high-risk for psychosis who use cannabis completed a brief survey and individual qualitative interview. Results of thematic analysis revealed five barriers (i.e., cannabis to cope, social influences, dependence symptoms, easy access, ambivalence about change) and four facilitators (e.g., experienced/feared consequences, focusing on motivation, social support, coping skills) to cutting down/quitting cannabis. Regarding mobile intervention development, participants recommended high-level personalization and content features such as goal setting, self-monitoring, coping skills, and affirming messages. Additionally, they suggested the intervention be visually appealing and interactive. To assist high-risk youth in reducing/quitting cannabis use, it is important to consider the unique barriers they face in doing so, as well as their specific preferences for the development of a mobile intervention.
期刊介绍:
Addictive Behaviors is an international peer-reviewed journal publishing high quality human research on addictive behaviors and disorders since 1975. The journal accepts submissions of full-length papers and short communications on substance-related addictions such as the abuse of alcohol, drugs and nicotine, and behavioral addictions involving gambling and technology. We primarily publish behavioral and psychosocial research but our articles span the fields of psychology, sociology, psychiatry, epidemiology, social policy, medicine, pharmacology and neuroscience. While theoretical orientations are diverse, the emphasis of the journal is primarily empirical. That is, sound experimental design combined with valid, reliable assessment and evaluation procedures are a requisite for acceptance. However, innovative and empirically oriented case studies that might encourage new lines of inquiry are accepted as well. Studies that clearly contribute to current knowledge of etiology, prevention, social policy or treatment are given priority. Scholarly commentaries on topical issues, systematic reviews, and mini reviews are encouraged. We especially welcome multimedia papers that incorporate video or audio components to better display methodology or findings.
Studies can also be submitted to Addictive Behaviors? companion title, the open access journal Addictive Behaviors Reports, which has a particular interest in ''non-traditional'', innovative and empirically-oriented research such as negative/null data papers, replication studies, case reports on novel treatments, and cross-cultural research.
