Description:

The population of adults aged 60-plus is growing rapidly around the world, expected to more than double to more than two billion by 2050, and the World Health Organization has declared 2020-2030 the “Decade of Healthy Ageing” in response to this demographic shift. Although much of the conversation around healthy aging has focused on individual risk factors and health behaviors, the built, natural, and social environments all play significant roles.

A research team at CAMH led by Dr. Tara Elton-Marshall is currently recruiting participants age 16-24 for their Understanding Cannabis Use Study.

The study will assess cannabis use patterns after cannabis legalization and consists of two online web surveys over 12 months. The baseline survey will take about 20-30 minutes to complete. Participants will receive an electronic gift card for each completed survey as a token of thanks, valued at $10 for the baseline survey and $10 for the follow-up survey.
