Recreational cannabis legalization and serious mental disorder among cannabis patients in California: A statewide longitudinal study\nPresenter: Sidra Goldman-Mellor PhD, MPH – Associate Professor, Department of Public Health, University of California, Merced
More than 50% of U.S. residents live in states with legalized recreational use of cannabis. Some research suggests that recreational cannabis legalization has led to population-level increases in incidence of serious mental disorder. This talk will present results from a study using statewide, longitudinally-linked administrative health record data to examine whether recreational legalization in California was associated with changes in mental disorder risk among a potentially vulnerable subgroup: individuals with problematic cannabis use.
