Résumé : |
Aims: To compare the prevalence of mental disorders between frequent cannabis users with and without dependence and the general population.
Design: Cross-sectional comparison of interview data. Setting: Enriched community sample of frequent cannabis users and a representative sample of non-users and non-frequent users from the general population. Participants: A total of 521 young adult (aged 18-30 years) frequent cannabis users, 252 of whom were with DSM-IV cannabis dependence (D+) and 269 without DSM-IV cannabis dependence (D-), and 1072 young adults from the general population. Measurements: Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare groups regarding the presence of DSM-IV mental disorders. Detailed measures of cannabis use, childhood adversity and other substance use were considered confounders. Findings: Compared with the general population, externalizing disorders were more prevalent in D- [odds ratio (OR) = 8.91, P Conclusions: Cannabis use patterns, childhood adversity and the use of other substances are similar in dependent and non-dependent frequent cannabis users. With the exception of more externalizing disorders, the mental health condition of non-dependent frequent cannabis users is similar to that of the general population, whereas it is worse in dependent frequent cannabis users. KEY FINDINGS: Dependent frequent cannabis users have worse mental health than both non-dependent frequent cannabis users and the general population. |
