Reducing Cannabis Use for Sleep Among Adults Using Medical Cannabis
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Insomnia Chronic, Cannabis Use
In brief
As medical cannabis use becomes more common in the United States, it is essential to understand the ways in which adults who use medical cannabis perceive the benefits of cannabis use and to identify effective strategies to help them cope with these problems. Emerging data indicate that insomnia and/or use of cannabis for sleep are very common in medical cannabis patients. The present study will adapt and gather pilot data on the impact of a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBTi-CB) intervention on sleep- and cannabis-related outcomes in adults who use medical cannabis.
