Summary

This study compares two brief behavioral interventions for emerging adults aged 18-25 who use cannabis frequently (at least 20 days per month). Participants attend two 40-50 minute sessions a week apart and are followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if either program helps reduce cannabis use and related problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: behavioral intervention (Bloom and Health Education)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a simple, short-term counseling approach to help young adults cut back on frequent cannabis use.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study (62 participants) testing two behavioral programs, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions are brief and may not lead to lasting change.
