This study aimed to determine how common cannabis use is among youth with psychosis and its associations with mental health.
Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 116 individuals aged 14-35 enrolled in an Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) program.
Collected data on demographic characteristics, psychiatric diagnoses, and self-reported cannabis use from clinical records.
Performed statistical analyses to examine cannabis use associations with age, gender, educational background, and psychiatric comorbidities.
82.8% of participants reported cannabis use, predominantly among males aged 18-25.
A significant association was observed between cannabis use and substance-induced psychosis (p < 0.001).
Cannabis users had lower levels of formal education compared to non-users (p = 0.004).
