Adding Nuance to Understanding the Effects of Cannabis Legalization by Using Policy Bundles: A Study of Youth Mental Health.
Background: Variation in policy design presents a challenge for understanding the positive and negative externalities of cannabis legalization. We offer an advancement on measuring state cannabis policy variation - policy bundles - and demonstrate how the measure can be used to test the effects of cannabis legalization on youth mental health.
Methods: This research employs data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The research focuses on utilizing three policy bundles as main exposures. This study utilizes a logistic regression model to analyze the outcome exposures. Furthermore, we employ instrumental variables to solve endogeneity between cannabis use and mental health.
Results: Both the pharmaceutical and permissive policy bundle scales are associated with mental health improvements, whereas greater fiscalization has a negative impact on mental health.
Conclusion: Studies of the positive and negative externalities of cannabis legalization must consider variation in policy design.
期刊介绍：
For over 50 years, Substance Use & Misuse (formerly The International Journal of the Addictions) has provided a unique international multidisciplinary venue for the exchange of original research, theories, policy analyses, and unresolved issues concerning substance use and misuse (licit and illicit drugs, alcohol, nicotine, and eating disorders). Guest editors for special issues devoted to single topics of current concern are invited.
Topics covered include:
Clinical trials and clinical research (treatment and prevention of substance misuse and related infectious diseases)
Epidemiology of substance misuse and related infectious diseases
Social pharmacology
Meta-analyses and systematic reviews
Translation of scientific findings to real world clinical and other settings
Adolescent and student-focused research
State of the art quantitative and qualitative research
Policy analyses
Negative results and intervention failures that are instructive
Validity studies of instruments, scales, and tests that are generalizable
Critiques and essays on unresolved issues
Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
