“…It is possible that couse of cannabis and cigarettes may signify socioecological differences (e.g., greater depression symptoms, more frequent discrimination, greater coping motives; Buckner et al, 2023; Foster et al, 2016; Mattingly et al, 2023; McKelvey et al, 2021; Romm et al, 2022), which may serve as a barrier to smoking cessation. Interestingly one case study demonstrated a unique role of cannabis and cigarette use in coping with SGM related stress (McQuoid et al, 2021). It will be important for future studies to investigate whether SGM individuals with cannabis and cigarette couse differ from their SGM peers with cigarette use only in sociodemographic, environmental, or other contextual factors.…”

“…Assessments and treatments delivered through technological platforms can easily be translated into different languages. Mobile health interventions targeting cannabis have been applied to helping pregnant people ( 62 ), individuals with comorbid psychiatric disorders like psychosis ( 63 ), students in schools ( 20 ), incarcerated offenders ( 64 ), co-occurring chronic pain and opioid use ( 15 ), individuals with cannabis and other substance co-use ( 18 , 65 ), and racially diverse populations ( 66 ). Future work can modify existing applications or build new, custom platforms to improve and expand the reach of these assessments and treatments to support diverse populations through socially and culturally competent means.…”

Cannabis use and Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) have been increasing. There are no FDA approved medications and evidence-based psychotherapy is limited by insufficient providers, serving very few patients effectively. The lack of resources for prevention and treatment of CUD has resulted in a significant gap between the need for services and access to treatment. The creation of a scalable system to prevent, screen, refer and provide treatment for a chronic, relapsing diagnosis like CUD could be achieved through the application of technology. Many studies have utilized ecological momentary assessments (EMA) in treatment seeking and non-treatment seeking cannabis users. EMA allows for repeated, intensive, longitudinal data collection in vivo. EMA has been studied in cannabis use and its association with affect, craving, withdrawal, other substances, impulsivity, and interpersonal behaviors. EMA has the potential to serve as a valuable monitoring tool in prevention, screening, and treatment for CUD. Research has also focused on the development of internet and application-based treatments for CUD, including a currently available prescription digital therapeutic. Treatment options have expanded to more broadly incorporate telehealth as an option for CUD treatment with broad acceptance and change in regulation following the COVID-19 pandemic. While technology has limitations, including cost, privacy concerns, and issues with engagement, it will be a necessary medium to meet societal health needs as a consequence of an ever-changing cannabis regulatory landscape. Future work should focus on improving existing platforms while ethically incorporating other functions (e.g., sensors) to optimize a public and clinical health approach to CUD.

Changes in drug prescribing-pattern in different groups of population and age-related pathophysiological changes may result in altered response of drugs and need proper monitoring to avoid adverse consequences. Polypharmacy is very common in elderly which further increases risk for unwanted effects. Moreover, physicians should be more familiar with the common problems and diseases occurring amongst elderly population and the drugs safe for this age group. Present study has been done to know the pattern of diseases occurring amongst elderly and commonly prescribed drugs for this population. Study-design was cross-sectional and it included private medical practitioners at Lucknow. Patients above 60 years of age attending these physicians were interviewed personally using a questionnaire. Thus, this study describes pattern of medication consumption by elderly patients among community dwelling in urban and rural areas of Lucknow. Out of 112 subjects interviewed, 51.5% elderly were prescribed three or more medications. Overall consumption varied from 1 to 10 different medications per day. Out of all medications prescribed; antihypertensives ranked first followed by analgesics, sedative-hypnotics, antacids and ulcer protectives, anti-diabetes drugs, antianginal drugs, psychotropics, cerebral and peripheral vasodilators. Other drugs prescribed were dietary supplements, calcium, iron, vitamin preparations. Moreover, for male-patients, drugs for prostate problems (e.g., α 1 -blockers and 5-α reductase inhibitors) were frequently prescribed. In female-patients, hormonal preparations were prescribed.INTRODUCTION: Rational use of medicines is one essential to be achieved to improve quality of health and medical care for the patients and community 1, 2 .
