“… 78 One longitudinal study of cannabis users 74 reported expansion motives as having the strongest association to CRNCs with conformity motives having a null association with cannabis problems when all motives were modeled simultaneously while another follow-up (2 time point) study indicated coping-related motives prospectively predicted problems. 79 Three cross-sectional studies suggested that motives mediate the association between psychological symptoms and CRNCs 65 , 80 and hostility and CRNCs. 75 One longitudinal study 81 found that reporting a high number of motives to abstain buffered the influence of negative reinforcement motives on the experience of cannabis-related problems in young adulthood.…”

“…Motives, but not expectancies, were investigated frequently as a predictor of CRNCs with coping motives emerging as a robust risk factor. 38 , 73 , 79 As suggested by mediational findings, individuals using substances to cope with underlying mental health issues are likely at risk for problematic substance use. The only protective factor identified in this review that would be more amenable to modification were protective behavioral strategies (PBS)—a trend that aligns with alcohol research.…”

A Scoping Review of Risk and Protective Factors for Negative Cannabis Use Consequences

Objective: Numerous reviews have examined risk and protective factors for alcohol-related negative consequences, but no equivalent review of risk and protective factors exists for cannabis-related negative consequences (CRNCs)-a gap filled by the present study. This scoping review examined survey-based research of risk and protective factors for CRNCs such as neglecting responsibilities, blacking out, or needing more cannabis. Methods: Three databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar) were searched for peer-reviewed manuscripts published between January 1, 1990, and December 31, 2021. A qualitative synthesis was performed using the matrix method and the results were organized using the socioecological model as a framework. Results: Eighty-three studies were included in the review. There was considerable variation in measures and operationalizations of CRNCs across studies. Risk factors were identified in the intrapersonal (depression, social anxiety, PTSD, impulsivity, sensation seeking, motives, expectancies), interpersonal/community (trauma, victimization, family and peer substance use, social norms), and social/policy (education, employment, community attachment, legalization, availability of substances) domains of influence. Protective behavioral strategies were a robust protective factor for CRNCs. Males consistently reported more CRNCs than females, but there were no differences observed across race. Conclusions: Future research should identify person- and product-specific patterns of CRNCs to refine theoretical models of cannabis misuse and addiction. Public health interventions to reduce the risk of negative consequences from cannabis should consider utilizing multilevel interventions to attenuate the cumulative risk from a combination of psychological, contextual, and social influences.
