A Brief Intervention for Cannabis Use
Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina
Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare two brief interventions targeting potentially problematic cannabis use in emerging adults (ages 18-25). Brief interventions are two 40-50 minute sessions separated by 1 week. Eligible emerging adults will complete a detailed cannabis assessment (biological and self-report), followed by one of the two brief interventions, and four follow-up assessments: one immediately after the second session and at 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-intervention. Assignment to the brief intervention is random. Salivary samples will be collected at baseline, post-intervention, and all follow-ups, for a total of 5 samples, to be tested for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

Conditions
Interventions
Health Education (HealthEdu)
The Health Education condition is a 2-session brief intervention with each session lasting 40-50 minutes and separated by about 1 week (5-10 days). The first session focuses on providing in-depth information on good sleep hygiene and habits to improve sleep and information on positive eating habits, nutrition, and physical activity/functional exercise. The second session focuses on providing information about stress and social connection.
Bloom
Bloom is a 2-session brief intervention with each session lasting 40-50 minutes and separated by about 1 week (5-10 days). The first session encourages participants to ask themselves what is important to them. This discussion emphasizes identifying values and ways to live in line with their values, as well as why they use cannabis and providing personalized feedback related to their reasons for use. The second session asks participants to reflect on information from session one and consider what they would like to do next to live in line with their values.
