Abstract
Background:
Factors associated with cannabis use among people with psychosis are not well understood.
Aims:
To examine whether people with psychosis and age-matched controls modified cannabis use in response to recent experiences.
Method:
This study predicted 4 weeks of cannabis use prospectively, using expectancies derived from recent occasions of use.
Results:
People with psychosis used cannabis less frequently than controls, but had more cannabis-related problems. More negative cannabis expectancies resulted in less frequent cannabis use over Follow-up. The psychosis group was more likely to moderate cannabis use after negative effects than controls.
Conclusions:
Results offer optimism about abilities of people with psychosis to moderate cannabis use in the short term.
