Abstract
abstract The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between depressive mood and lifetime cannabis use in adolescents, particularly through the mediating role of anxiety and cannabis use effect expectancies, and the moderating role of peer cannabis use. A questionnaire was administered to 1,246 adolescents (16 to 17 years old). Analysis of variance (ANOVA), chi-square, logistic regressions, and mediation/moderation analyses were performed. Results demonstrate that depressive adolescents show a greater probability of cannabis use when they have friends who also consume cannabis. Also, social anxiety has a preventing effect against cannabis use. However, if adolescents have few or no friends who use cannabis, depression does not appear to be a risk factor, and social anxiety becomes a stronger preventing factor against early cannabis use.
