Study Background

Researchers at the University of Michigan are conducting a study in young adults who use cannabis regularly to test an app-based intervention.

Choosing to use substances, such as marijuana, tends to start when you are a teenager and peaks around young adulthood. If you are a young adult, you probably spend a lot of time on your phone. For that reason, we’re working on designing an app-based program to help young adults like you make healthy choices about cannabis use.
