Descriptive epidemiology of injuries with concomitant cannabis use among adolescents and young adults in the United States: a cross-sectional study

Background: Rapid changes in cannabis legislation have been accompanied by an increase use of cannabis and related products among adolescents and young adults. Past studies examining cannabis's impact on injuries have focused on motor vehicle crashes and occupational injuries, but few have examined other injuries that may be associated with cannabis usage. To address this gap, we sought to examine adolescents and young adults who presented to an emergency department (ED) with an injury and concomitant cannabis use.
