Summary
This study tests a program called MOMENT-V that combines two counseling sessions with a smartphone app to help young adults reduce cannabis use. About 65 participants will either use the full program or have a brief counseling session. Researchers will check if the program is easy to use and if it helps lower cannabis use and related problems over three months.
