Cannabis Use Disorders in China from 1990 to 2040: Incidence Trends and Future Projections.
Key Points
The research aims to analyze the trends in cannabis use disorder (CUD) incidence in China from 1990 to 2040.
Analyzed historical data on cannabis use disorders in China
Identified cohort-specific vulnerabilities
Projected future trends in CUD incidence
Notable increases in cannabis use disorder incidence were observed over the years.
Identified specific groups with higher vulnerabilities to developing CUD.
Prohibition measures alone might not effectively prevent cannabis-related disorders.
Abstract
The observed increases in CUD incidence and cohort-specific vulnerabilities in China suggest that prohibition alone may not fully prevent the emergence of cannabis-related disorders.
