Abstract
This brief report describes the development and first year of use of an Internet-based screener for Cannabis users. Two versions of the Check Your Cannabis screener were compared, one linked to an already established harm reduction website for young Cannabis users (as an exercise called "Check how I compare with others," on www.WhatsWithWeed.ca) and the other a standalone version (www.CheckYourCannabis.net). The What's With Weed version attracted ten times more users and had a significantly younger audience as compared to the standalone version, underlining the benefits of targeting a website to a specific audience and linking to websites with already established reputations. Further work is needed to establish any impact on actual Cannabis use from taking the Check Your Cannabis screener.
这份简短的报告描述了基于互联网的大麻使用者筛选器的发展和第一年的使用情况。我们比较了两个版本的“检查你的大麻”筛选器,其中一个链接到一个已经建立的针对年轻大麻使用者的危害减少网站(在www.WhatsWithWeed.ca上作为一项名为“检查我与他人的比较”的练习),另一个是独立版本(www.CheckYourCannabis.net)。与独立版本相比,What's With Weed版本吸引了10倍多的用户,并且拥有更年轻的用户,这突显了针对特定用户的网站以及链接到已建立声誉的网站的好处。需要进一步的工作来确定采取检查您的大麻筛选器对实际大麻使用的任何影响。
