The relationship between cannabis use and symptoms and relapse in psychosis [ 2000 - 2002 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: E/Pr Christopher Tennant (Principal investigator)

Brief description Cannabis is increasingly widely used and abused by young people. Use in young people with schizophrenia is even more extensive. There is some suggestion that this drug use is a result of their illness, ie to reduce unpleasant symptoms or feelings. Equally the drug may contribute to their psychosis. This study aims to assess the degree to which psychosis may be caused by cannabis use in vulnerable young people.
