Summary

This pilot study tested a counseling program called the Teen Marijuana Check Up, adapted for young adults (ages 13–35) who have early psychosis and use cannabis. The program uses motivational interviewing and personalized feedback over two sessions to help participants reduce or stop cannabis use. Researchers measured changes in cannabis use and psychosis symptoms in 17 participants enrolled in coordinated specialty care.
