New app aims to reduce cannabis risks
NCT ID NCT07524985
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a French-language iPhone app called Joint Effort 2.0 that gives personalized feedback and tips to help cannabis users adopt safer habits. About 110 adult cannabis users in Quebec will use the app for a period and report how often they use protective strategies. The goal is to see if the app encourages people to take action toward lower-risk use.
