Profiles of cannabis use and expense-related factors among US young adults
Objectives
Given the changing cannabis policy and retail environment, this study examined profiles of young adults with differing cannabis cost-related behaviors and perceptions (e.g., products used, impact of cost) and their associations with use-related outcomes.
Methods
Using 2024 survey data among 1,359 US young adults reporting past-month cannabis use (Mage = 26.95, 61.4 % female, 20.7 % Hispanic, 17.9 % Black, 7.7 % Asian), latent class analysis (LCA) was conducted; indicators were perceived cost of cheapest product ($1–10; >$10), impact of cost on use (low; moderate; high), monthly cannabis expenditures ($0–25, $26–100, >$100), past-month use days (1–5; 6–20; ≥21), and product type (bud/herb; edibles; oils/vape; concentrates/other). Multivariable analysis assessed sociodemographics in relation to class (multinomial logistic regression), then class in relation to use-related outcomes (next-year use intentions, problematic use; linear regression).
Results
LCA identified 4 classes: 1) ‘Price-insensitive, low-spend, low-level bud/edible use’ (36.1 %); 2) ‘Semi-price-sensitive, high-spend, high-level bud/oil/concentrate use’ (31.9 %); 3) ‘Semi-price-sensitive, moderate-spend, mid-level oil/other product use’ (24.1 %); and 4) ‘Price-sensitive, high-spend, mid-level mixed product use’ (7.9 %). Compared to Class 1 (referent): Class 2 was older, more likely < bachelor’s (vs. ≥ bachelor’s) degree educated, cohabitating (vs. single/other), and parents, but less likely Asian (vs. White); Class 3 was more likely Black and < bachelor’s degree educated, but less likely with other (vs. full-time) employment; and Class 4 was more likely Black and food insecure. In multivariable regression, relative to Class 1, other classes had higher use intentions and more problematic use.
Conclusions
Regulatory and educational efforts must address young adults with higher risk indicators and potentially related disparities.
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.
