My name is Georgiana Anastasiou and I am currently doing my PhD at the University of Liverpool ([email protected]). We are currently conducting a study which aims to investigate the barriers to behaviour change in non-dependent cannabis users. The following study aims to examine the reasons individuals have for not reducing their cannabis use as well as how these reasons may be related to levels of cannabis consumption and how they may affect daily life or tasks.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria include:
Aged 18 years or older, be a regular cannabis user (use at least once in an average week), be able to read English, live in either the UK, EU, Canada or the United States of America, you should not take part if you have a current or previous diagnosis of a cannabis use disorder or a substance use disorder.
There will be a series of 4 questionnaires to answer. A short, 8-item, cannabis use questionnaire will be used to assess cannabis consumption levels, if you score above a certain level on this questionnaire, you will then go on to complete a questionnaire that assesses the barriers to behaviour change in cannabis users. Following this, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire that assesses the units of cannabis consumed in the past 14 days. Lastly, you will be asked to complete a 10-item measure which assesses the importance of cannabis in one’s life taking into consideration the past 4 weeks. The study should take no longer than 30 mins to complete.
The study was approved by the University of Liverpool Research Ethics Committee on the 9th of December 2024, with a start date of 10/12/24 and an end date of 01/10/27.
