Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Frequency of Cannabis Use as Reported on the Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB)

  30-day TLFB self-report will be used to assess total number of days of cannabis use.

  3-months post baseline

• Frequency of Cannabis Use as Reported on the Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB)

  30-day TLFB self-report will be used to assess total number of days of cannabis use.

  6-months post baseline

• Quantity of Cannabis Used as Reported on the Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB)

  30-day Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) self-report will be used to assess quantity (grams) of cannabis consumed.

  3-months post baseline

• Quantity of Cannabis Used as Reported on the Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB)

  30-day Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB) self-report will be used to assess quantity (grams) of cannabis consumed.

  6-months post baseline

• Consequences of Cannabis Use as Measured by the Marijuana Adolescent Consequences Questionnaire Using Dichotomous Response Scale as Previously Described Throughout This Trial Registration.

  Marijuana Adolescent Consequences Questionnaire will be used to assess past 3 month consequences of cannabis use. Consequences are measured by report of number of times incidents from the list of 26 items (e.g., quality of work suffered, had less energy, etc.) resulted from cannabis use. Responses will be dichotomized (0 = never, 1= greater than never) and summed for a total score reflecting total number of consequences. Response scale: Never 1-2 times 3-5 times 6-10 times More than 10 times Minimum score =0, maximum = 26. Higher score = more consequences.
